 Main riff
 For so long my life's been sewn up tight
 Main riff
 Inside your hold
 And it leaves me there without a place
 To call my own
I  know now what shadows  can see
There's  no point in running 'less you run  with me
It's  half the distance through the open  door
Before  you cut me down
Again...........Let  me introduce you to the end
 (main riff 2x)
 Electric guitar: E5--G5--E5--G5
 ----same chords/riffs as verse 1
 And I feel the cold wind blowing beneath my wings
 It always leads me back to suffering
 But I will soar until the wind whips me down
 Leaves me beaten on unholy ground again
 So tired now of paying my dues
 I start out strong but then I always lose
 It's half the distance before you leave me behind
 It's such a waste of time
'Cause  my shackles
You  won't be
And  my rapture
You  won't believe
And  deep inside  you will bleed  for me
 ----Same as 1 and 2, only the electric
 guitar plays these power chords...
So  here I slave  inside of a broken  dream
Forever  holding on to splitting seems
So  take your piece  and leave me alone  to die
I  don't need you to keep my faith alive
 I know now what trouble can be
 And why it follows me so easily
 It's half the distance through the open door
 Before you cut me down
 Again............Let me introduce you to the end
 E5----(for quite a while)
 I didn't tab it)
 thing:
Though  you know  you care
 (This part same as chorus)
 And my laughter
 You won't hear
 The faster
 I disappear
 And time will burn your eyes
 (to tears)
E5-----(for quite a while)
 Also another solo which I didn't tab
