Intro : Em G Am Em

Verse 1:
    Em
you prayed to have
     G    Am               C
your name scattered on the lips of the young
Em      G
now you claim
         Am         C
that its you on the tips of their tongue
Em        G
if you're proud
            Am             C
of what you had to kill to get your thrill
Em            G
well,i bet it stings
           Am             C
to give up everything and realize
B7
they dont want you

Chorus:
Em                          G
its a lonely road where the forgotten goes
          Am                     Em
where your misery finds its company
Em                         G
its a long way down to the sacred ground
         Am                   B7
where the reaper's playing for keeps
Em      G       Am     C

Verse 2:
Em        G
the hollow sound
   Am                 C
is ringing where your heart used to beat
Em       G
have you found
          Am              C
that your admiration will never set you free
Em       G
get your lies
             Am                C
prepared your next in line for judgement day now
Em         G                  Am
aren't you praying aren't you begging
            C      B7
that you're anyone else


Chorus:
Em                          G
its a lonely road where the forgotten goes
