Verse 1:
     Cm
All of a tremble
              Bb
You can feel their poison arrows
Have left their mark
      Cm
Higher and higher
Wanna seize the day
       Bb
While you're waiting for the dark

Pre-Chorus:
             G#
You're running from the disdain
You know this time
Fm        Bb
You won't turn around
      G#
Chasing an illusion, disillusion
Fm        Eb    C#
Desire leading, downward bound


Chorus:

Into the black

Where no man's been

No turning back
            Cm  Eb
No more lost in the middle
G#       Fm
Never again, never again

Once you have opened your eyes

Down in the dark you'll be crossing the line


Verse 2:
     Cm
I'm a believer on the receiving end
    Bb
Of the bat they hold with grace
       Cm
Dead to the voices of the anxious
     Bb
Timid of him who must not be named


Pre-Chorus:
       G#
Enticing me away now as the sun sets
    Fm        Bb
To the truth that lies beyond
         G#
I'm chasing an illusion, an illusion
Fm      Eb    C#
Revelation I'm coming home

Bridge:
Dm       Eb
You turn your back on the one
Bb
Willing to make up his mind
Dm       Eb
No you never stood in my shoes

Evil versus divine
Dm       Eb
You're feeling drawn to purity

Like a moth to the flame

Light at the end of the tunnel

Strange how the voice of the savior

Roars like a train
