[Asus4]It's a careless [G]wind that carries me
[F13/F]Across the [Em7]great divide
[Asus4]From the [Bm]wretched underworld
[F5]To the place [E5]where fear resides
[G]Behind the [Asus4]line you hold
[G]You can only [F13/F]hold so long
[Em7]When you see [Asus4]my forked tongue
[Bm]And hear [F5]my twisted song
[E5]My sign is [G]the fire line, uncontrolled
[Asus4]My bitter ruthlessness is [G]a beacon to behold
[F13/F]Like cancer growing, [Em7]someday to die
[Asus4]Where the [Bm]water's flowing
[F5]I'm gonna drain [E5]the river dry
[G]'Cause it's [Asus4]a poison dream
[G]Keeps me running [F13/F]through the night
[Em7]I'll take it all [Asus4]and then some more
[Bm]By the dawning of [F5]the sickly morning light
[E5]Burn through [G]the midnight oil
[Asus4]And the bridges [G]I can't cross
[F13/F]Somehow I'll [Em7]find myself in
[Asus4]Everything you've lost
[Bm]We've seen it [F5]all before but
[E5]It comes [G]as no surprise
[Asus4]Just like reflections of [G]the fire in your eyes
[G]It's a [Asus4]poison dream
[G]Keeps me running [F13/F]through the night
[Em7]I'll take it all [Asus4]and then some more
[Bm]By the dawning of [F5]the sickly morning light
[G]And when the work is done [F13/F]and the devil's called his time
[Em7]You'll feel a sterile breeze [Asus4]that blows through ashen pine
[Bm]And you may ask yourself [F5]where did the endgame lie
[E5]The question I might ask if [G]I could stop to wonder why
[G]It's a [Asus4]poison dream
[G]Keeps me running [F13/F]through the night
[Em7]I'll take it all [Asus4]and then some more
[Bm]By the dawning of [F5]the sickly morning light
[G]It's a [Asus4]poison dream
[G]Keeps me running [F13/F]through the night
[Em7]I'll take it all [Asus4]and then some more
[Bm]By the dawning of [F5]the sickly morning light
