Capo 1

E                       B
Water dripping from the pipes down in the basement
F#m                  A
Bare feet on a concrete floor
E                         B
Notches on the wall of my solitary cell
D              A
Sweat dripping out of every pore
C                      B
It feels like it takes forever
E                          A
It’s maybe five minutes on screen
E                                B 
But the horns will swell and the strings will sound
F#m               A
When that flipped quarter hits the ground

                     E
I’m doing this for revenge
			       E
I’m doing this to try and stay true
                       C#m 
I’m doing this for the one they had to leave behind
	           A
I’m doing this for you

E F#m A x4

E                     B
Keep cool down in the quiet of the morning
F#m 		     A
Sweat blood when the sun comes through
E		  B
Thick mist on the pond before the temple
D	             A
Headed down for the final rendezvous
C		    B
Everybody ready for justice
E		     A
Just another mile to go
E                                 B
But the strings will keen and the horns will cry
F#m 		A
When it’s just me against the sky

		   E
I’m doing this for revenge
			       E
I’m doing this to try and stay true
		       C#m 
I’m doing this for the one they left the twist in the wind
                   A
I’m doing this for you
                   E
I’m doing this for you
