C
You twist the knife

C
And I'll take the bullet

Am
You start the fire

        F
And the world then turns for you

         C
Isn't it right?

           Em
Isn't it a crime?

         Am       C     F
Isn't it cruel to be so kind?

                       G                      C
But it's all an act of love and it leaves you blind

C                   G         C
And I'm not here to reason or deny

C                 G          C
I buried you in a poverty of time

    F                G
Sometimes there's no other way

    Am                          F
You said the things you need to say

       C
At the greatest price

       G
Over a meaningless fight

          Am      C     F
Didn't it used to be so fine?

C                      G               C
Sometimes you need the dark to see the light

C
You roll the dice

C
And I play the fool

Am
You turn the tide

        F
But the storm steps through your eyes

         C
Isn't it right?

              Em
Or is it your pride?

           Am     C     F
Isn't it cruel to be so kind?

C                    G               C
But some temptations promise you paradise

C                   G            C
And I'm not here to listen or confide

C                          G                     C
And I've paid my debt to a world that bleeds you dry

F                    G
Sometimes there's no other way

Am                      F
You said the things you need to say

C
At the greatest price

        G
Over a meaningless fight

           Am     C       F
Didn't it used to feel so right?

C                      G               C
Sometimes you need the dark to see the light
