D                              G
  So she woke up, woke up from where she was, lyin' still

Said "I, I gotta do somethin' about where we're goin'"

  Step on a steam train

  Step out of the driving rain, maybe

  Sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth

D                                G
  I see seven towers, but I only see one way out

          D
You gotta cry without weeping, talk without speaking,

G
scream without raising your voice

                    D
You know I took the poison

                               G
From the poison stream, then I floated, out of here

Oooooooooooo,  Ooo Ooo Ooo  Oooooo
[Verse 3]
D
  She runs through the streets with eyes painted red

G
  Under a black belly of cloud in the rain

D
  In through a doorway, she brings me

G
white gold and pearls stolen from the sea

        D                             G
She is raging, she is raging and a storm blows up in her eyes
[Ending Chorus] She will,
A             C/G   G
  suffer the needle chill,

A                  C/G  G   D
  She's running to stand,   still.
