D              D            Bm7add11        Bm7add11
  My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark

     Cadd9        Cadd9          G          G
And I, I do not feel the romance, I do not catch the spark

D              D            Bm7add11        Bm7add11
  My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark

And I, I do not feel the romance, I do not catch the spark

  D                  D                C            C
I don't know when I noticed life was life at my expense

    Bm           Bm                Gm               Gm
The words of my heart lined up like prisoners on a fence

   D                    D            C                 C
My dreams came in like needy children tugging at my sleeve

  G/B             G/B        Asus        A7
I said I have no way of feeding you, so leave

Cadd9              Cadd9          G             G
  But there was a time I asked my father for a dollar

D                   D/C#       Bm7add11  Bm7add11
  And he gave it a ten dollar raise

Cadd9          Cadd9   G             G
  And when I needed my mother and I called her

D                  D/C#    Em    Em    A7sus   A7
  She stayed with me for days
[Bridge]
    G                 G         Gm                Gm
Now someone's on the telephone, desperate in his pain

D                D/C#            Bm           Bm
Someone's on the bathroom floor, doing her cocaine

Cadd9              Cadd9         G             G
Someone's got his finger on the button in some room

D              D/C#              F#7 N.C.
No one can convince me we aren't gluttons for our doom

        E7/G#   E7/G#             Gmaj7     
But I tried to make this place my place;    

            Gmaj7         Cadd9       Cadd9 
I asked for Providence to smile upon me with its sweet face; 

G N.C.
Yeah, but I'll tell you:
[Chorus]
D              D            Bm7add11        Bm7add11
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark

     Cadd9        Cadd9          G          G
And I, I do not feel the romance, I do not catch the spark

D              D            Bm7add11        Bm7add11
My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark

    Cadd9        Cadd9          G          G
And I, I do not feel the romance, I do not catch the spark

      G N.C.
And I will not be a pawn

        Gm N.C.
For the Prince of Darkness 

      D   D/G D/F# D/E     D   D/G D/F# D/E

[Verse 2]
  D                  D                C            C
Maybe there's no haven in this world for tender age

    Bm           Bm                Gm               Gm
My heart beat like the wings of wild birds in a cage

   D                    D            C                 C
My greatest hope, my greatest cause to grieve

  G/B             G/B                   Asus        A7
And my heart flew from its cage, and it bled upon my sleeve

Cadd9              Cadd9          G             G
The cries of passion were like wounds that needed healing

D                   D/C#       Bm7add11  Bm7add11
I couldn't hear them for the thunder

Cadd9          Cadd9                    G             G
I was half the naked distance between hell and heaven's ceiling

D        D/C#    Em    Em    A7sus   A7
And it almost pulled me under
[Bridge]
    G                 G         Gm                Gm
Now someone's on the telephone, desperate in his pain
