[Verse 2]
Dm Dm Dm I bared my neck to the teeth of a knife Dm Bb Bb Bb Bb They've held my head under the water for minutes - I didn't mind Badd4 Badd4 Badd4 I've been blind, bound and tied at the mercy of strangers Badd4 They beat me, whatever Asus4 Asus4 A A My heart didn't race - I was fine Dm Dm Dm I got them to hang me from terrible heights Dm Dm Bb They took me to places of poverty, malice, unspeakable Bb Bb War - I have seen people die Bb Badd4 Badd4 They left me at night in the heart of the forest, the air full of noises Badd4 Badd4 The creatures that eat us just feet from my face Badd4 Badd4 As their wild cries sounded, and darkness surrounded Asus4 Asus4 A A And still I did not bat an eye
