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

Verse 5:
             F2                  G2
Tell the world I know that my mind is made
          Dm7                C
It's a hard show, but I'm not afraid
             F2                      G2
Though I won't be missed, I would say it's time
          Dm7                       C
