Dm                  C/E               F   Gm  Am
 Some nights I just feel this need to run

Dm                  C/E             F                    Gm  Am
 Some nights I just want to burn to death, just like the sun

Dm                  C/E             F    Gm  Am
 Some nights I just long to lose control

Dm                  C/E           F              Gm    Am
 Some nights I just wish for destiny to touch my soul
[Prechorus]
         Dm                C/E              F      Gm  Am
It's the feeling that it's all too safe and sound

      Dm                C/E             F                Gm
And I need something to shake me up and strike me to the ground

  Am       Gm
A storm to come

            Bb
And root me up

           Bdim
And let me run

             C
Just burn my wings

C#dim     Dm
Touch the sun

          C/E
So let me fly

            F
Just let me fall

            Gm
Just let it come
[Chorus]
                   Dm  F  Bdim
I wanna taste it all

        Bb           Dm  F  Bdim 
I wanna falter and fall

        Bb         Gm
I wanna run from civility

               Bb
The flags of morality

                 Bdim
Just go with the wild in me

              C      C#dim    Dm
Regardless of nation creed or policy

                 C/E
Just pulling you close to me

                   F                  Gm
Just peel off this thin skin of humanity

                                    Dm
Sometimes I feel the beast gets the best of me
C/E F Gm Am Dm C/E F Gm Am [Verse]
Dm               C/E               F    Gm  Am
 It's not that I don't want what I have

Dm               C/E          F            Gm  Am
 It's not that I ever want to make anybody sad

Dm               C/E            F   Gm  Am
 It's not that I want to hurt myself... no

Dm                   C/E           F                Gm    Am
 But some things are better broken than left on the shelf
[Prechorus]
         Dm             C/E               F    Gm
It's the hunger and the restlessness that call

Am        Dm         C/E           F              Gm
Oh, sweet vertigo, a lust enticing me to take the fall

   Am      Gm
So lock me up

            Bb
So chain me down

            Bdim
And build a wall

            C        C#dim     Dm
Destroy the wolf and break his crown

              C/E
Just file his claws

             F
And pull his teeth

               Gm
Cause when I'm free
[Chorus]
                     Dm  F  Bdim
I'm gonna taste you all

          Bb           Dm  F  Bdim
I'm gonna falter and fall

        Bb         Gm
I wanna give up my dignity

            Bb
Give into inequity

              Bdim
Sleep with my enemy

               C
Explode like a sun

    C#dim       Dm
And become your gravity

                 C/E
Just pulling you into me

              F               Gm
It takes everything to refill me

                                    Dm         C/E
Sometimes I feel the beast gets the best of me
[Outro]
  F  Gm
Oh

    Am             Dm
The beast gets the best of me
C/E F Gm Am (Metal rhythm start) Dm C/E F Gm Dm C/E F Gm Am x2 Dm C/E F Gm Am x2
      Dm           C/E              F   Gm  Am
It is not for everyone to touch the sun

         Dm                 C/E               F
You must let them fly, just let the wild ones run

          Gm     Am     Dm
Just stay safely on the ground

             C/E
Just give me all

              F
I'll give you more

            Gm      Am       Gm
Just let me roam, unlock the door

            Am
Release the beast

            Bb
Just set me free

  Ab-5
Covering your eyes
