Tied to the noose

Run as fast as you can
F#m

Call out for help cause I'm playing with fire
F#m
Call out on mountains till my voice goes faint
F#m
Echoes through time then comes back with new strength

We're sailing

I'm off the leash
N.C.
I go to war for peace
F#m
Cause I've been touching everything that I can
F#m
I got blood on my hands
F#m
Guess I'm going deaf from what the crowd is sayin'
A
Ah please forgive me I don't understand
