Sonata Arctica – The Dead Skin (Guitar)

C#              D#
It's me I hate, not you at all

C#
I am my own medicine

D#
Turned into a poison

C#
I think I gave you a lot

D#
And not enough I know

C#
Tortured myself, same as you

D#
Without losing my sanity

  F                G
I see no reason to live in Hell

F                 G
How can life make me feel so incomplete?

Dm  C       G               Am    G    D
    I had a weakness and my walls came down

       Dm    C     G         D
    My tears won't reach the ground

    Dm   C  G   A
    Burn my new wound

Dm  C        G       Am  G          D
    I know I cannot feel regret for anything

Dm  C        G                  D
    If I was numb, I'd end this once and for all

    Dm  C        G     A
    I   feel the burn, still...

Dm          F         C       A          Dm
   I cannot face this day, my guards are down

            F      C       A         C#
   I cannot love myself... weak, sad clown

C#            D#
I see myself, my fading color

C#                     D#
I see no hope there... Where I always used to...

C#                D#
I fear your words, the things they mirror

C#                     D#
Maybe that is all I am, just a reflection (please help me)

  F                G
I see no reason to live in Hell

F                   G
When you smile, you make me feel incomplete

Dm           F                      C
But it's all ending, the clock's rewinding

              A               Dm
We don't mean anything to me. You think?

              F                 C                  A
I killed this silence for us to make things right

              Dm
The words are loaded

         F
Once connected

           C
One torso, one head

          A
One solid reason, the pain...

Dm            F                C            A
If love's the neck, kept us together, and apart...

            F
Now it's broken...

            G#               D#
There is no cast, no real salvation

              C            Fm
When it is broken, it will stay that way

    G#            D#
Believe me when I say this

            C            D
I would not if I did not care

F                Am
Tears don't mean anything

   D             Dm
If we don't know when we're sorry

F          C             G               D
No one will win today we can't play this game... this way

          D        Dm         D      Dm
We cannot soar and still stay on the ground

            F       C        A
Don't wanna see me, hear me, hate me...

Gm
Jealousy's a phantom

Dm
You know how it must hurt, and I know

                                   D
There is nothing you've done to deserve this

                                                        G
Sometimes it really has to be, it's kept me afloat thus far...

                          D
Is there someone who can measure...

Dm         F                     C
It all has ended, the clock's rewinded

              A               Dm
We don't mean anything to me. You think?

              F                  C
I killed this silence for you to end the night

    A          Dm
The words are loaded

      F                 C
Unprotected, one torso, no head

          A                      Dm
One valid reason, the life's suspended

              F                    C            A
If love's the neck that kept us together, and apart...

         Fm
Now it's broken...

           G#               D#
There's no cast, no real solution

           C               Fm
When it is broken, it will stay that way

   G#             D#
Believe me when I say this

            C            Fm
I would not if I did not care

          G#                     D#
Who needs who, when and what the hell for?

             C             Fm
Who wants to suffer and be hardcore?

          G#               D#           C
And who's strong enough to peel off the dead skin...

Bb          F         C       A          Dm
   I cannot face this day, my guards are down
