Pain of Salvation – In The Flesh (Guitar)

Am
She walks these empty streets alone

Am
Hiding from something they call 'home'

Am
Hoping to find some peace of mind

Am
Sometimes we need to walk alone

Am
She is set on running away

Am
Though her mom was yelling she must stay

Am
A wind-beaten bird for reasons unheard

Am
Sometimes it's best to run away

D                          Am
So fly away, fly away, fly away

D                                  Am
Don't be afraid, don't hesitate; fly away

Am
Some wear their bruises on their skin

Am
Others hide their scars deep within

Am
She has a wound close to her womb

Am
Blames herself for letting it in

D                          Am
So fly away, fly away, fly away

D                                  Am
Don't be afraid, don't hesitate; fly away

          Dm A#
But she's afraid

          Dm A#      Dm A#
She's afraid, she's afraid

Am
Anyway

D                                  Am
See those eyes, see those eyes, see those eyes

D                                  Am
Hate and lies, a fire that slowly dies

          Dm A#           Dm A#
But she will fly, she will fly

         Dm A#
She will fly

Am
Before it dies

F#m                              D
Sometimes the hands that feed must feed a mind with a sick need

F#m                                 D
And the hands that clutch can be the same hands that touch too much

F#m                                 D
Eyes that hungrily stare, read in an access that's not thereù

F#m                                 D
While eyes close to hide tears or look away in fear

Am
Run away!

Dm
Passing the open stores, hiding her dirty sores

                    C           Dm
Seeking asylum among freaks and whores

Dm
What wouldn't she give to be in a society

                            C             Dm
Not learning the eyes to be closed but to see

Dm
Now she bites the words: "Never!"

Dm
She kicks the ground "Never!"

Dm
Swallows her tears

Dm     C         Dm
"Never will I go back!"

Dm
She hits the walls "Leave me!"

Dm
Scratches herself "Leave me!"

Dm                     C            F#m
Begs to all Gods "Rip me from this sick flesh!"

F#m            D
"I will always be there."

F#m                D
"No!" She holds her ears

F#m                D
"You know that I love you."

F#m                D
Pretends that she doesn't hear

F#m                D
"We're in this together."

F#m                D
"We share the same skin."

C#m           Bm
Panic in his voice now

      Am       Gm
"Free us from sin."

G#m               E
"Tell me that you love me."  (This is the end)

G#m               E
"I know that you do."        (Of her way)

G#m               E
Never ever again

G#m           E
Follow me down

A#m               F#
"God forgive this hunger."       ("Please mommy see!")

A#m               F#
"Never tell a soul."              ("Is it me?")

G#m               C#m
A child will love its parents

Bm         Am    F#m
Will follow them down
