C 
You twist the knife 
 
C 
And I'll take the bullet 
 
Am 
You start the fire 
 
        F 
And the world then turns for you 
 
         C 
Isn't it right? 
 
           Em 
Isn't it a crime? 
 
         Am       C     F 
Isn't it cruel to be so kind? 
 
                       G                      C 
But it's all an act of love and it leaves you blind 
 
                    G         C 
And I'm not here to reason or deny 
 
                  G          C 
I buried you in a poverty of time 
 
    F                G 
Sometimes there's no other way 
 
    Am                          F 
You said the things you need to say 
 
       C 
At the greatest price 
 
       G 
Over a meaningless fight 
 
          Am      C     F 
Didn't it used to be so fine? 
 
C                      G               C 
Sometimes you need the dark to see the light 
 
C 
You roll the dice 
 
C 
And I play the fool 
 
Am 
You turn the tide 
 
        F 
But the storm steps through your eyes 
 
         C 
Isn't it right? 
 
              Em 
Or is it your pride? 
 
           Am     C     F 
Isn't it cruel to be so kind? 
 
C                    G               C 
But some temptations promise you paradise 
 
                    G            C 
And I'm not here to listen or confide 
 
                           G                     C 
And I've paid my debt to a world that bleeds you dry 
 
F                    G 
Sometimes there's no other way 
 
Am                      F 
You said the things you need to say 
 
C 
At the greatest price 
 
        G 
Over a meaningless fight 
 
           Am     C       F 
Didn't it used to feel so right? 
 
C                      G               C 
Sometimes you need the dark to see the light
