Verse:
   Em
The morals of life and the perils of death
                C    D
Take the wrong way out running out of breath
Em
Meet my match in the afterlife
              C     D
Suppress the demons that plague the night
 Em
A tortured mind is a safe place to go
                 C   D
But the truth lurks down in the dark below
Em
Step inside my inquisitive mind
              C     D
Are you scared at what you just might find

Verse:
Em
See myself in the hall of mirrors
             C   D
A different shape every step I take
 Em
A different mind every step of the line
          C    D
But in the end they are all mine
Em
Laughing sorrow inside your head
           C      D
Can’t get out just a feeling of dread
  Em
I know this burden's a heavy load
           C    D
A dark mistake never ending road

Verse:
Em
 The black jack king and the red queen clash
           C      D
The artful dodger he counts his stash
Em
 The joker’s wild like an impish child
             C    D
While madame fortune she waits inside
Em
 The good luck charm is overkill
              C    D
The tired old soldier says fire at will
Em
 Planes overhead go search destroy
         C   D
The ones below human decoy

Verse:
Em
 Meanwhile we play the waiting game
             C    D
The clock is struck the horse is lame
Em
 And when we think that this is done
          C     D
Chance your luck a four leafed one
Em
 You hedge your bets the battle lost
           C     D
To wait in vain and count the cost
Em
 The thin edged line
Em
 Between good and bad
           C   D
And cast the luck be happy sad

   E      A
The red and the black
 E      G     D
People don’t want the truth
 E      A       C     D
Look in their eyes and you send them away
   E      A
The red and the black
E      G  D
Fate and hypocrisy
 E     A      C     D
Burden’s a heavy load there is no doubt
   E      A
The red and the black
E      G   D
All out of luck again
E     A     C    D
How many chances can anyone have
   E      A
The red and the black
E     G    D
Treachery out to win

There in the wrong place and at the wrong time
