1. I walk the streets alone on feeble bones I ride
   Gm Bb Eb Ab
   my sins are eched in stoneI got no place to hide
   Bb Gm Ab Eb
   well, I was unshakablein what I did believe
   Gm Bb Eb Ab
   I feel so breakablebut have I been deceived
   
2. You showed me your paradiseand your carnival of souls
   but my heart keeps telling methat ain't the place to go
   well, I'm not invincibleso I want you to leave
   well, I'm so convinciblebut have I been deceived

   Bb    Db

3. I remember yesterdaywhen things were black and white
   never thought I'd get confusedon what was wrong and right
