[Intro] Am E [Verse 1]
       Am                E
As the walls are closing in

        Am             E
And the colors fade to black

       Am               E                     Am   E
And my eyes are falling fast and deep into me

      Am                             E
And I follow the tracks that lead me down

      Am                  E
And I never follow what’s right

         Am                             E
And they wonder sometimes when they see all the

            Am                       E
Sadness and pain the truth brings to light
[Chorus 1]
         F            G
’Cause I can’t see no reason

        E            F
What is blind cannot see

                      G
’Cause I want what is pleasin’

      E              F
All I take should be free

                    G
What I rob from the innocent ones

         E              F     Am    F     E
What I’d steal from the womb
[Post-Chorus 1]
     Am                  E
If I cried me a river of all my confessions

        Am                  E
Would I drown in my shallow regret
[Interlude] [Verse 2]
       Am                E
As the walls are closing in

        Am             E
And the colors fade to black

        Am               E                          Am   E
And the night is falling fast and deep into the sea

       Am                      E
And in darkness all that I can see

    Am                 E
The frightened and the weak

    Am                 E
Are forced to cling to mistakes they know 

        Am                  E
Nothing of at mercy are the meek
[Chorus 2]
         F            G
’Cause I can’t see no reason

        E            F
What is blind cannot see

                      G
’Cause I want what is pleasin’

      E              F
All I take should be free

                    G
What I rob from the innocent ones

         E              F     Am    F     E
What I’d steal from the womb
[Post-Chorus 2]
     Am                  E
If I cried me a river of all my confessions

        Am                  E
Would I drown in my shallow regret
