Intro:
C Em Am

Verse 1:
C              Em      Am
You were my halogen, guiding me home
C      Em     Am
My only weapon when I was alone
C            Em   Am                 C
You were a big city, one I got lost in
             Em          Dm          Am  F  C
And when you spoke with me, I fell open
       Am  F  C
I fell open


Pre-Chorus:
              Am                     F          C
But did you know that cost when you broke your promise?

(I was unprepared)
                Am                    F                C  G
That when your bombs went off they would come down on us

Chorus:
        Am            F   C
I was a knife in a gunfight (with a blind side)
       Em            Am
And I fought so madly
             F                G
You were a wolf in the daylight
                     Am  F  C   Em
And you almost had me
                     Am  F  C   Em
And you almost had me


Verse 2:
C               Em      Am
I thought you were showing all your colors
 C                Em     Am
But you were in sheep's clothing

The mind of another
  C          Em     Am
Can a slave preach freedom?
                        C            Em       Dm
Can a captive take hold of what they believe in?


Pre-Chorus:
              Am                     F          C
But did you know that cost when you broke your promise?

(I was unprepared)
                Am                    F                C    G
That when your bombs went off they would come down on us


Chorus:
        Am            F   C
I was a knife in a gunfight (with a blind side)
       Em            Am
And I fought so madly
             F                G
You were a wolf in the daylight
          Em         Am
And you almost had me
F               C
With a blindside
         Em
And it hurt so badly
 Am        F               C
You were a wolf in the daylight
         Em
And you almost had me


Bridge:
Am                         C
I guess I knew when your heart stop beating
 F
I'd never let you sink your teeth in
Am                         C
I guess I knew when your heart stop beating
F
I'd never let you sink your teeth in


Breakdown:
Am      F
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh (you almost had me)
Am       F
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
C        Em
Oh-oh-oh (and you almost had me)
Am                        F          C
I guess I know when your heart stop beating (oh-oh-oh)
 Em
And you almost had me
 Am                       F          C           Em
I guess I knew when your heart stop beating (oh-oh-oh)


Chorus:
          Am         F     C
I was a knife in a gunfight
        Em
And I fought so madly
Am          F            G
You were a wolf in the daylight

And you almost had me
