[note: often when an E chord is played, a guitar in the background plays a natural G note. This makes the chord sound minor instead of major. I find it difficult to hear sometimes, so I just play an E5 chord] E5

                A                D
Saw God staring from the wall

                E                  E5
I was alone and lost

                A                D
Here to take me from this world

                E
Still alone and lost

F#                                 Em
Night when the dogs from hell come out

F#
Roam my house in chains of gold

A
The darkness dares my eyes to close

D E (x2)

[note: everytime these chords are played,
the background guitar plays a melody (a-f-b-e)
an octave higher. I try to include these notes
by downstrumming the chords and playing this:]
   v downstr.  v downstr.

                   A              D
Saw a ghost in the shadows smile

                 E                  E5
I was sick in my soul

                 A                D
All tied up in a winding sheet

           E
Still sick in my soul

F#                                  Em
Night when the dogs from hell come out

F#
Roam my house in chains of gold

A                                  (Am)
The darkness dares my eyes to close

[note: while playing the A chord here, the guitar in the backgrond plays a natural C note after Mark sings "close". I think it sounds nice to add a cheeky Am to the end of the verse] v downstr.

Full of fear in my head
