          D                      G            D 
There are voices in my head, and demons in my soul 
    A7sus                       G                    D 
Sometimes they keep me warm, sometimes they leave me cold 
          D                      G               D 
There are strangers in my bed to caress my jaded skin 
    A7sus                G                D 
And squeeze my tight and forgive me of my sins 
 
      G                       D                
And I know I'm not insane, if I am I'm not to blame 
               A7sus             D            G              D 
It's just this damned ol' hungry pain, like a drug inside my veins 
         G                              D 
And I've sown just what I reaped and my thoughts are mine to keep 
         A7sus                           G              D 
Thru my chilly bones they creep and they whisper me to sleep 
 
 
INTRO 
 
         D                           G               D 
When the nighttime goes away and the voices have all gone 
  A7sus                      G               D 
I fumble with my clothes and put myself back on 
  D                         G            D 
I walk out on the street to face another day 
  A7sus                      G                D 
I know I'll meet my fears somewhere along the way 
 
     G                         D 
As I climb the might steel and watch the river flow 
     A7sus                             G           D 
I'll drown beneath the waves of my own private radio 
 
 
OUTRO: D G D A7sus G D (2x)
