What is wrong with her eyes?
Dm                                F
A glossy stare that won't leave me be starts my blood running cold.

Bb
A gaze that could make hell freeze over...

          Dm               A
I have to understand she's gone...

           Dm
But she's not!

                                F
Don't you tell me that she is dead!

                           Bb
Watch her lips softly move because she's still whispering to me!

                  Dm                 F     A      Bb
...And something here is not quite right...

Dm      F                          Bb                                C
Skin so cold beneath my touch as I brush back her hair and close her eyes.

    Dm        F
But I cannot stand to turn away.

       Bb
When I do, she'll be gone...

     C
It's frightening...

Bb                Bb                   A
Sweaty hands will fail to lock the door...

        A
They'll be here soon.

  D            E       F          G      
I wish I could keep my teeth from grinding.

  D        E        F       G
I wish I'd stop looking behind me.

Bb                Bb            A
Running now will only make it worse...

        A
They'll be here soon.

  D             E         F     G
I wish I could shake the awful feeling.

  F        G           A/E
I wish my mind would stop...

Bb                      C
Maybe I am crazy and my mind is trying to deceive me.

Dm
As the ground vanishes I wonder will the sky be the next to fail me?

Bb
Paint abandons canvas.

       C                                          Dm
And my brush can't seem to start again from scratch.

                                                                     Bb
As I watch everything unravel, why should I even try to stop the collapse?
I won't...
Dm           F
Shaking as I rest her body down.

       Bb
No one knows, only me...

      C
It's frightening...

Bb                Bb                   A
Sweaty hands will fail to lock the door...

        A
They'll be here soon.

I wish I could keep my teeth from grinding.

I wish I'd stop looking behind me.

Running now will only make it worse...

        A
They'll be here soon.

As I watch everything unravel, why should I even try to stop the collapse?

D     E     F     G      D     E     F     G
There's a madman glaring straight at me!

D     E     F     G      D     E     F     G     2x D E F G
Oh I know I've seen his face before...

D     E     F     G      F    G    A/E     
I am sure I've seen his face before...
