Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Sometimes in my bed at night
 I curse the dark and a pray for light
 And sometimes, the light's no consolation
Blinded  by a memory
 Afraid of what it might do to me
 And the tears and the sweat only mock my desperation
Don't  you know me I'm the boy next door
 The one you find so easy  to ignore
 Is that what I was fighting  for?
Walking  on a thin line
Straight  off the front line
Labeled  as freaks loose on the streets of the city
Walking  on a thin line
Straight  off the front line
Take  a look at my face, see what it's doing  to me
 Taught me how to shoot to kill
 A specialist with a deadly skill
 A skill I needed to have to be a survivor
 It's over now or so they say
 Well, sometimes, it don't turn out that way
 Cause your never the same when you've been under fire
 Don't you know me I'm the boy next door
 The one you find so easy to ignore
 Is that what I was fighting for?
 Walking on a thin line
 Straight off the front line
 Labeled as freaks loose on the streets of the city
 Walking on a thin line
 Straight off the front line
 Take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me
