Intro: F Am 

F                           Am 
I don't know how it happened 
                                                   F 
Was it always this way, and I just couldn't see it? 
                                           Am 
Heart burning hot enough for the both of us 
                                               F 
I never realized how much you were holding back 
                                  Am 
All the times I felt so plugged in 
                   F 
You were tuning out 
                            Am 
A muted channel, a cold ship, a hologram, an abyss 

verse 1 
          F                       Am 
How can I fight a kingdom of your demons? 
  F             Am 
A mist, so palpable 
                  F 
You can't have it all 
                Am 
Her and all the pleasure 
  F      Am 
A woman can give 

Bridge 
F               Am 
Do you trust me? 
                F 
Can you feel it? 
Total control 
            Am 
Can't let go 
It could be bliss 
Machinist 

 
Am 
Can't speak 
              G 
You wanted it all 
                       F 
Let go a piece of your heart 
                    G 
All the pleasure it gives 
Am                    G 
Leave me, lost in the night 
                     F 
Shadows go in and go by 
                 G 
I just wanted it all 

verse 2 
              F 
Here's to the night 
            Am 
A lullaby a creepin' 
  F                Am 
A song to win your love 
          F 
See me at all? 
                      Am       F 
Through all of your aggressors 
Am 
The true one 

 
Am 
Can't speak 
              G 
You wanted it all 
                       F 
Let go a piece of your heart 
                    G 
All the pleasure it gives 
Am                    G 
Leave me, lost in the night 
                     F 
Shadows go in and go by 
                 G 
I just wanted it all
