Am 
Lurking, he knows your face

He waits and bides his time 
F 
Mind clocks your every move

'Till you step out of line 
Am 
Stalking streets by night

Pushing guns by day 
F 
He knows it isn't right

But he wants to make his name 
Dm           Em 
He's working harder 
Dm                                   E 
Gotta make another, make another martyr 

Am 
Hide your eyes, they're moving closer 
Am 
But you know you're not allowed to look them in the face 
Am 
Hide your eyes, cos' you're the loser 
Am 
Before you even start to run you've lost the race 

verse 3 
Am 
You'll never know the place 
C 
Until your time has come 
F 
It'll be a sunny day 
Em 
Until his work is done

Doesn't care what pain you feel 
C 
Can't see your mother's tears 
F 
As she counts the cost of the life that's lost 
Em 
And twenty wasted years 
Dm              Em 
He thinks he's smarter 
Dm                                      E 
Gone and made another, made another martyr 

Am 
Hide your eyes, they're moving closer 
Am 
But you know you're not allowed to look them in the face 
Am 
Hide your eyes, cos' you're the loser 
Am 
Before you even start to run you've lost the race 

Bridge  
rest while drums play then

Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh 
Dm           Em 
He's working harder 
Dm                                   E 
Gotta make another, make another martyr 

Am 
Hide your eyes, they're moving closer 
Am 
But you know you're not allowed to look them in the face 
Am 
Hide your eyes, cos' you're the loser 
Am 
Before you even start to run you've lost the race 
Am 
Hide your eyes, they're moving closer 
Am 
But you know you're not allowed to look them in the face 
Am 
Hide your eyes, cos' you're the loser 
Am 
Before you even start to run you've lost the race
