Intro:
Dm Bb Am C
Dm Bb F C

Dm               Bb                         Am
I am the shadow, and the smoke in your eyes
                Dm
I am the ghost, that hides in the night

Instrumental:
Dm

Pre-Verse:
Dm
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom

Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom

Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom

Verse 1:
Dm
Wait, wait a minute take a step back

You gotta think twice before you react

So stay, stay a little while
           F                      G
'Cause a promise not kept is the road to exile
Dm
Hey! What's the circumstance

You'll never be great without taking a chance so

Wait, you waited too long
           F
Had your hands in your pocket
           G
When you shoulda been gone

Pre-Chorus:
Dm
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
Bb
One push is all you'll need
F
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
C
A fist first philosophy
Dm
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
Bb
We watch with wounded eyes
F
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
Dm
So I hope you recognize

Chorus:
Bb
I'm on the front line
        F
Don't worry I'll be fine
     Em                D
The story is just beginning
        Bb
I say goodbye to my weakness
     F
So long to the regret
     C              A                     D
And now I see the world through diamond eyes

Verse 2:
Dm
Damn! Damn it all down

Took one to the chest without even a sound

So... What! What are you worth?
       F                     G
The things you love or the people you hurt
Dm
Hey! It's like deja vu

A suicidal maniac with nothing to lose

So... wait, it's the exception to the rule
   F                G
Everyone of us is expendable

Pre-Chorus:
Dm
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom
Bb
One push is all you'll need
F
Boom-lay, boom-lay, boom

I say goodbye to my weakness

So long to the regret

And now I know that I'm alive

I'm on the front line
        F
Don't worry I'll be fine

Dm                     Bb
Every night of my life
          Am                  C
I watch angels fall from the sky
Dm                   Bb
Every time that the sun still sets

I pray they don't take mine
