Intro (x2): || F2 || G2 || Dm7 || C


Verse 1:
     F2          G2
So I walk alone down the dark - est roads
       Dm7           C
Cause I've al - ways known how the sto - ry goes
       F2             G2
When the cur - tain falls, I'll be wear - ing thin
     Dm7             C
Clawing at the walls as they're clos - ing in

Verse 2:
       F2         G2
In this twist - ed plot I was des - tined for
     Dm7         C
I'm an as - tronaut on the o - cean floor
     F2            G2
So misun - derstood 'till the bloo - dy end
     Dm7         C   | Am | F
How I wish  I could do it all again


Chorus:
C          G
 It feels like I'm a lone survivor
Am        G7
 Forgotten in a dark and deadly world
C       G
 And on my own, I walk alone
Am          F
 To see the sun again I'd give anything
C          G
 But life demands a final chapter
Am        G7
 A story that we all must leave behind
C       G
 It's do or die, and this is mine
Am          F
 The anthem of a bird with a broken wing


Instrumental: C ||| G ||| Am ||| F ||| F


Verse 3:
    F2           G2
It's an - other night of the li - ving dead
     Dm7         C
Like a vi - per bite in a spi - derweb
       F2         G2
It's so death - ly dark in the al - leyway
      Dm7            C
And a blee - ding heart makes you ea - sy prey


Verse 4:
     F2          G2
I would run and hide for the af - ternoon
       Dm7        C
With the but - terfly in the pa - nic room
       F2           G2
Though I won't be missed, I would say it's time
     Dm7            C    | Am | F
For a dif - ferent twist in the sto - ry line


Chorus

 A story that we all must leave behind

 It's do or die, and this is mine

Tell the world I know that my mind is made

It's a hard show, but I'm not afraid

Though I won't be missed, I would say it's time
