Chords with lyrics

This is the life of a woman with demons
  Chord diagramF# minorF#m     Chord diagramC# minorC#m    Chord diagramF# minorF#m     Chord diagramC# minorC#m
The first time we met I was sure she was steaming
Chord diagramDmDm        Chord diagramDmDm           Chord diagramF# minorF#m Chord diagramC# minorC#m Chord diagramF# minorF#m Chord diagramC# minorC#m
This is my life, this is my life - What a life
Chord diagramF# minorF#m    Chord diagramC# minorC#m     Chord diagramF# minorF#m    Chord diagramC# minorC#m
Life isn’t precious and life isn’t sacred
Chord diagramF# minorF#m     Chord diagramC# minorC#m    Chord diagramF# minorF#m      Chord diagramC# minorC#m
Sometimes release only comes when you meet death
 Chord diagramDmDm             Chord diagramDmDm	        Chord diagramF# minorF#m Chord diagramC# minorC#m Chord diagramF# minorF#m Chord diagramC# minorC#m
Chord diagramA augmentedA night of reprieve we were wrecked when we slept in the park
	 Chord diagramDmDm           Chord diagramDmDm
When we woke in the morning you cried
            Chord diagramA minorAm Chord diagramE minorEm Chord diagramFF Chord diagramG+G (x2)
could I squeeze out the dark

(CHORUS)
Chord diagramA minorAm     Chord diagramE minorEm     Chord diagramFF      Chord diagramG+G
Destroy the noises that make all the voices and
Chord diagramA minorAm    Chord diagramE minorEm    Chord diagramFF   Chord diagramG+G
Get them out of my head
Chord diagramA minorAm      Chord diagramE minorEm      Chord diagramFF       Chord diagramG+G
Bring on the screaming and I’ll take your demons now
Chord diagramA minorAm    Chord diagramE minorEm    Chord diagramFF  E(Chord diagramG+G instead of Chord diagramE MajorE on final CHORUS)
that I’m already dead

(2nd VERSE – same as 1st)
Days of release when she almost felt better
Gradually faded and words couldn’t get her
Chord diagramDmDm           Chord diagramDmDm             Chord diagramF# minorF#m Chord diagramC# minorC#m Chord diagramF# minorF#m Chord diagramC# minorC#m
Where is the light, where is the light, get the light
Fearless and clear all her doubts had been cast off
Her last night alive is a nightmare I’m part of
Chord diagramDmDm	       Chord diagramDmDm	          Chord diagramF# minorF#m Chord diagramC# minorC#m Chord diagramF# minorF#m Chord diagramC# minorC#m
Dreams are a lie, if dreams are a lie - So am I
Chord diagramDmDm				Chord diagramDmDm           Chord diagramA minorAm Chord diagramE minorEm Chord diagramFF Chord diagramG+G (x2)
If thats all there is then I might as well get in the fire

(TO CHORUS than to below)
Chord diagramFF     Chord diagramA minorAm		Chord diagramE minorEm  		  Chord diagramFF
Oh how the rights of the righteous kept coming
Chord diagramFF     Chord diagramA minorAm	   Chord diagramE minorEm  Chord diagramFF
Shining before like the day
Chord diagramFF     Chord diagramA minorAm		Chord diagramE minorEm  		  Chord diagramFF		  Chord diagramE MajorE
I stand before them and cried that you’re dying your way


Chord diagramF# minorF#m      Chord diagramC# minorC#m     Chord diagramF# minorF#m      Chord diagramC# minorC#m      Chord diagramF# minorF#m  Chord diagramC# minorC#m …
I’m still not sure if the right and the wrong side is one
