Intro: A Asus2	

A			   Bm
Some things you do just to see
    D                      A	Asus2
How bad they'll make you feel
A			   Bm
Sometimes you try to freeze time
	D 				A	 Asus2
'Til those thoughts are a blur of spinning wheels

A                    Bm
But I am just a broken machine
      D                    A           E
And I do things that I don't really mean

A			C#m
Long black night, morning frost
	F#m		   D
I'm still here, but all is lost

A Asus2

A                         Bm
Speed up to the precipice
     D			A	Asus2
And then slam on the brakes
A				Bm
Some people crash two or three times
          D			A	Asus2
And then learn from their mistakes

A			Bm
But we are the ones who don't slow down at all
		D		A		E
And there's nobody there to catch us when we fall

A			C#m
Long black night, morning frost
	F#m		   D
I'm still here, but all is lost

E
 
D			    E		    A
Feel the storm every night, hope it passes by
E			F#m	D		A  Asus2
Hallucinate a shady grove where Judas went to die

A			Bm
Unfurl the black velvet altar cloth
D			A	Asus2
Draw a white chalk baphomet
A			Bm
Mistreat your altar boys long enough
D			A	Asus2
And this is what you get

A			Bm
Sad and angry, can't learn how to behave
D				A		E
Still won't know how in the darkness of the grave

A			C#m
Long black night, morning frost
	F#m		   D
I'm still here, but all is lost


A Asus2
