Blood Blisters

	  		Part I: The Truth 

C                    F         G               C 
   I shall speak the truth and nothing but the truth 
                     F        G             C 
   So please help me out as I come clean to you 
       Am               F        G              C 
   And through the open window I see so clearly now 
     Am         F            G            C 
   I call it, I want it, but I don't know how  


Part II: Braindead 

   C                       Am 
   Is it just me or are we all insane 
           F               G 
   Walking the wrong way, against the grain 
     C                          Am 
   I know we all must be living in denial 
            F                        G 
   I see it in their eyes, harboring all the lies 

        F                     C 
   It's safer to be locked in chains 
           Am                G 
   Than to risk and lose the game 
              F                C                 G 
   There's so much that can distract you on your way 
           Am G F  G 
   On your way 

            C                Am 
   You're a victim of irrationality  
       F                   G 
   The complexity of your identity 
   C                               Am 
   Fucked for life that's how it's always been 
           F                        G    
   Written on your skin and carried deep within 

   F                   C 
   Desperate and demoralized 
     Am                           G 
   Becoming what you've always despised 
   F                C                      G 
   Looking for some meaning but it's all a lie 
              Am   G F  G 
   It's all a lie 


Part III: The Color Grey 

   | F G | C | X4 

         F                    C 
   So we all keep waiting for guidance and light 
     Am            G 
   Expecting it to shine so bright 
       F                       C              G    
   We suffer in silence, cause we are all the same 

       F                   C 
   Distracted by shit that don't mean a thing 
       Am                              G 
   And all of the sudden you're locked out, looking in 
   F                    C                  G       F G  C 
   Wandering helplessly lost around in the maze 

                    F    G   C 
   And I try not to feel 
                   F           G           C 
   I don't want to know if the pain is for real 
          F        G          C 
   I just close my eyes and believe 

       F                 C 
   And all your life you try to fit in 
       Am                            G 
   But all that you want is to crawl out of your skin 
          F                           C                G          
   If you held your ground would they still ask you to change? 

        F                      C 
   Your soul evaporates as you stare at the sun 
   Am                        G 
   Too weak to fight and too tired to run 
   F                       C              G         F G  C 
   All that you wanted was something to believe in 

                    F    G   C 
   And I try not to feel 
                   F           G           C 
   I don't want to know if the pain is for real 
          F        G          C 
   I just close my eyes and believe 


Part IV: Straight From The Heart 

        C                 G 
   Well fuck you all, I'm leaving now 
       Dm                   Am 
   And on my way out I will burn down this town 
        F                    C            G 
   I've done it before in my mind so many times 

        C               G 
   Yeah thIS is what it did to me 
       Dm                Am 
   The bigotry and the hypocrisy 
      F                  C                     G      F 
   So tell me what can I do when it all falls apart? 

        Am                        F 
   It's time I started living not only exist 
     C               G 
   I wanna let go, I can't resist 
     Am          F       G 
   I got so much more to give 

      Am                     F 
   We all need a cause, it's burning in me 
       C                     G 
   The passion the quest for glory 
   Am           F          G 
   What does it take to be free 
    
      C                G 
   So here's to me and here's to you 
       Dm                    Am 
   And all the shit that you tried to do 
   F                     C                    G 
   I know all my enemies better than I know myself 

   C                G 
   Read the writing on the wall 
          Dm             Am 
   That I used my middle finger to draw 
        F                     C                      G      F 
   With blood, resentment and hate straight from the heart 

        Am                        F 
   It's time I started living not only exist 
     C               G 
   I wanna let go, I can't resist 
     Am          F       G 
   I got so much more to give 

      Am                     F 
   We all need a cause, it's burning in me 
       C                     G 
   The passion the quest for glory 
   Am           F          G      Am 
   What does it take to be free

   Than to risk and lose the game
