Verse:
B minorBm            G+G
 Old friend, we seem surrounded
           E minorEm
As decay is closing in
             F#F#
And the kiss of deadly silence
            B minorBm
Has been?placed?upon my skin
               G+G
For?the code we're bound to follow
             E minorEm
You?have led my last crusade
               F#F#
Now we're swallowed by the city

As it fades

Chorus:
      G+G
I will shield you from the darkness
      E minorEm
When the walls around us quake
     B minorBm
I will hold back all the monsters
      F#F#
Until my bones begin to break
      G+G
When I've lost I'll have to leave you
      E minorEm
And the tears, they'll fall like rain
     B minorBm
If I'm taken by the shadows
     D MajorD
I will spare you from the pain

B minorBm G+G E minorEm F#F#

Verse:
B minorBm          G+G
 Cry a requiem for sunlight
             E minorEm
Hide away now from the dark
              F#F#
To me the angered deep is calling

Tearing me apart
B minorBm              G+G
 Somehow the whispers do command me
              E minorEm
When the abyss has taken hold
          F#F#
Now carry on in glory

When I grow cold

Chorus:
      G+G
I will shield you from the darkness
      E minorEm
When the walls around us quake
     B minorBm
I will hold back all the monsters
      F#F#
Until my bones begin to break
      G+G
When I've lost I'll have to leave you
      E minorEm
And the tears, they'll fall like rain
     B minorBm
If I'm taken by the shadows
     D MajorD
I will spare you from the pain

G+G E minorEm B minorBm F#F#

Bridge:
B minorBm                  B minorBm
 Foolishly I left the darkness creeping
                    E minorEm
In this restless ruin my soul is bleeding

I confess to you the dark
  F#F#
Has taken me prisoner
B minorBm              B minorBm
 I am corrupt beyond any rescue
                 E minorEm
I've forsaken my vow to protect you

Oh, end these horrors
     F#F#
Face the father of the sinister

G+G
 If the fight's over
     E minorEm
I will sacrifice my mind
      B minorBm
Just to know you'll still be breathing
      F#F#
When the years have been unkind
    G+G
So continue on without me
     E minorEm
Guard my body and my flame
     B minorBm
Keep a watch over the wasteland
      F#F#
When the world forgets my name

N.C.

Chorus:
      G+G
I will shield you from the darkness

When the walls around us quake

I will hold back all the monsters
      F#F#
Until my bones begin to break
      G+G
When I've lost I'll have to leave you
      E minorEm
And the tears, they'll fall like rain
     B minorBm
If I'm taken by the shadows
     D MajorD
I will spare you from the pain
