Intro
F#5 A5 F#5 E5 (4x)
Verse
F#5 A5 F#5 E5
Well Ya know that I want your loving,
but my logic tells me that it aint never gonna happen,
and then my defense is to say I didn't want it anyway,
but you know sometimes I'm a liar.
C#m B
Could you ever want me to love you?
C#m B
Could you ever want me to care?
F#5 A5 F#5 E5
Disregard my nervousness,
please ignore my vacant stares,
Chorus
C#m B
'cause just what I've been through,
A
is nothing like where I'm going to.
F# A F# E
Give me some sign to pursue,
A promise,
B
and you're unhappy.
N.C.
...This is only a guess...

Verse 2
F#5 A5 F#5 E5
(guitar silent at first slowly fades in over similar bass line)
Do you know what it's like to hate
when it's way down deep inside?
Oh god, I hate what's been done to my life.
I could rule the pain,
I could rule the night,
or would I ruin my salvation,
ruin my mind.
Rule your pains,
rules of the night,
ruin your salvation,
ruin your miiiiiiiiiiiiiii.....
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii....
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind.
