Richie Kotzen – The Damned (Guitar)

    Em
You say you’re gonna help me

         A
I see things in a way that’s too real

    Em                                     A
I really wanna trust you but I know you already made my deal

Em                                         F#m        A
I’ve been driving all night, been running from the truth

    Em                 G
And I’m stuck down in Rosemead trying to cut loose

           Em                 A
You’ve got all your believers

      D               Em                                  G  A
Your water’s running blue but your hands are stained in red

Em                                         A          G
Somehow I believe you but I know you manipulate the truth

     Em                  G               A                 G
The weight is getting heavy and I don’t know what I should do

    Em                            G     A
You got me wrapped up somehow I’m so confused

             A             Em
But if you lead me to the fire I’m gonna light the fuse

Em            G       A       Em                    D    A
A shrine for believers    to hide what you can’t escape

A                 Em                      A
It all looks so good with the lights off

A        D            Em                         G        A
You say ‘let me slip into your deepest dream and I will show you love’

D    G     Em        D        G
God damn me  for believing in you

D    G                Em      A
God damn your system makes me do the things I do

G          Em               D            G
Sink your knife it’s your nature to be cruel

G            Em    D         Em
God damn me for believing in you

|Em |A Bm        |Em   |A
Oh’    I’m the damned

    Em                                      A
I’m right where you want me and I know I’m stuck in my shoes

G   Em             G                    D                 A
I thought I was a rich man but now I’m broke from paying dues

        Em       D       A          Bm
You’re not a savior and now I know…

          Em            A                   G
When you belong to the unknown, they never let you go

Em                D   A    Em                       D A
A shrine for believers… I know that I can’t escape

A                  Em                        A
It always looks so good with the lights off

A          D           Em
Won't you let me slip into your darkest dream…

        G            A
I would love you to love me

D    G   Em        D        G   A
God damn me  for believing in you

D    G                Em      A               A   Bm
God damn your system makes me do the things I do
