[Intro] Em G D (x4)
Em                 G       D
Look for something that is hard to find

Em                  G      D
Searching somewhere deep inside your mind

Em                 G           D
Hope you find just what you're looking for

Em               G       D
Heaven's waiting with an open door
[Riff] Em D G (x3) C D Em D G (x3) C D [Verse 1]
Em                                         B Bb  G
If you should sell your soul as cheaply as I did then

Em                    C            D
The road to ruin is a long road to hide in

Em                                   B    Bb G
We signed our lives away to have an escape

Em                              C        D
It's something that will be whatever our fate
[Pre-Chorus]
C
There's no use in hiding

Am
Got to keep on trying

Bm
Can't take no more lying, this is the last

C
There's no time for crying

     Am
When some of us are dying

Bm                Bm   Am G   D/F# Em D
None of us decide what is our fate
[Chorus]
Em                  G                 C
Now with nothing to hide going nowhere

        G/B         Am             G   D/F#
Take my chances and stand by their side

Em                  D
When the river runs deep

                   C
And the line breaks

        G/B
And the blood it flows

Am            G    D/F#
Free from our lives
[Verse 2]
Em                                   B    Bb G
Is this the last together maybe this time now

Em                          C           D
We stand together and we're holding the line here

Em                                          B   Bb G
There's nothing we can do just sit here and wait

Em                        C          D
The die is cast that is deciding our fate
[Pre-Chorus]
C
There's no use in hiding

Am
Got to keep on trying

Can't take no more lying, this is the last

C
There's no time for crying

Bm                Bm   Am G   D/F# Em D
None of us decide what is our fate
