I was...

F C
I was spending my time in the doldrums
F C
I was caught in a cauldron of hate
F Am
I felt persecuted and paralysed
G F
I thought that everything else would just wait

While you are wasting your time on your enemies
Engulfed in a fever of spite
Beyond your tunnel vision reality fades
Like shadows into the night

To martyr yourself to caution
Is not going to help at all
Because there'll be no safety in numbers
When the Right One walks out of the door


D F Bb Am Bb Dm F D

C G
Can you see your days blighted by darkness?
C G
Is it true you beat your fists on the floor?
C Em
Stuck in a world of isolation
D C
While the ivy grows over the door

So I open my doors to my enemies
And I ask could we wipe the slate clean
But the tell me please go fuck myself
You know you just can't win

VERSE:(with Rhythm figure 1)

C F Fsus2 C
I was spending my time in the doldrums,
F Fsus2 C
I was caught in a cauldron of hate.
F Fsus2 Am
I felt persecuted and paralysed,
G F Fsus2 Fmaj7
I thought that everything else would just wait.

While you are wasting your time on your enemies,
Engulfed by a fever of spite,
Beyond your tunnel vision reality fades
Like shadows into the night.

To martyr yourself to caution
Is not going to help at all.
Because there'll be no safety in numbers
When the Right One walks out of the door.

VERSE:
C G
Can you see your days blighted by darkness?
C G
Is it true you beat your fists on the floor?
C Em
Stuck in a world of isolation
D/F# C Csus2
While the ivy grows over the door.

So I open my door to my enemies,
And I ask could we wipe the slate clean.
But they tell me to go fuck myself.
You know you just can't win.
