Chords with lyrics
Capo: 1
All chords used: C, Am, F, G+G
Intro: (2 Versions)
1st: Place your finger on the 3rd fret of the high E MajorE note and pick 4 times, before picking
again 4 times with an open E MajorE
2nd: Play an open G+G note 4 times, before picking a D MajorD note 4 times with your finger on the 2nd fret.
Strumming Pattern: I do a single strum for each new chord,
since there isn't a particular rythym (besides the intro).
However, you are free to do what you wish :>
C majorC A minorAm FF G+G
Closet full of secrets and skeletons awakes but nothing's true,
C majorC A minorAm FF G+G
I used to own a castle, now it's boxes that I have to move,
C majorC A minorAm FF G+G
Right here in the darkness there's nothing left for me to do,
C majorC A minorAm
It's easier to run away but today,
FF G+G (Optional: D MajorD D DUDU)
Today we got to
C majorC A minorAm
Cast the shadows out from sight,
FF G+G
A augmentedA final stand a shouting cry,
C majorC A minorAm
All the wrongs now turned to right,
FF
So fight the past,
G+G
Take back the night,
C majorC A minorAm
And call upon the torch tonight,
FF G+G
To bring out all the ghosts to light,
C majorC A minorAm FF (Optional: D MajorD D D MajorD D)
Because at last we have to go it's time,
G+G
To take back the night

C majorC A minorAm FF G+G
Bridges burned and broken on different sides we start anew,
C majorC A minorAm FF G+G
Being chased by monsters to face head on or be consumed,
C majorC A minorAm FF G+G
Reaching out for something gras-ping on to nothing to lose,
C majorC A minorAm
Paybacks left too long unpaid but today,
