[Intro] Em Em Cadd9 Am B [Verse 1]
Em
Crying in the still of the night

               Cadd9
A yearning for shelter

                     Am
Silence kissing your wounds

              B
Soothing your pain

Em
Darkness, and what do they know

                                    Cadd9
'Bout losing direction clutch at a straw

             Am             B
Cherish the hope to make it finally

C       D     Em
hooo..ooooo...oome...

C       D     Em
hooo..ooooo...oome...

Am      B    Em
hooo..ooooo...oome...

Am      Cadd9  D
hooo..ooooo...oome...

Em                 D
   You long to be see through

Em                D
   So nobody can tell

Em               D
   Whenever they made you

   Cadd9      Gmaj7
   Bleed your pride away

Em
   Now you're driven by a one track mind

    G         D
   Initiating you

Em
   Splendid flowers

    D                A
   Blossom from the wounds

Em
   The stronger the poison

       G                    D
   The sweeter smells the bloom
[Pre-Chorus]
             Am                Bm
   Don't you try to stand your ground

                C           D
   Cause you're only coming home
To the heart of [Chorus]
Em
fire, you're home, found asylum

     C               C/G      D
In a world where the broken dance

   A                G G/F#
On shards of glass, I see

Em
fire, ruins and fire, and fire

     C               C/G    D
In a world where the broken dance

     A
With shattered dreams
[Verse 3]
Em                 D
   It's burning inside you

Em                 D
   This emotional hell

Em                 D
   And you keep on smiling

     Cadd9  Gmaj7
   Upon the icy tiles

Em                     G                D
   A stream of fire to sweep the fears away

   Em
   Seems like forever

       D                  A
   Too long you've had to wait

Em
   Plunge in darkness

       G           D
   For wicked harmony
[Pre-Chorus]
       Am           Bm
   Little angel thrown away

           C            D
   Sure'll be back another day
To the heart of [Chorus]
Em
fire, you're home, found asylum

     C               C/G      D
In a world where the broken dance

   A                G G/F#
On shards of glass, I see

Em
fire, ruins and fire, and fire

     C               C/G    D
In a world where the broken dance

     A
With shattered dreams
[Bridge]
C
   Now see the cornered children

                      D      Em
   I see them off the beaten track

                              Bm       C
   Embracing and crying  (freezing and dying)
Concealed humiliation Now let them dance
  C/G  Am             Bm
   Liberation cruelty-free

           C                 D
   Dance towards the gallows-tree

Bogyman was sought and found

Bogyman has found a home
