Intro: F# - C# - B - C# - F# 


   F#              C#         B 
It might have been some other story 
    B              C#          F# 
Our book must have been bought used 
       F#     C#                   B 
'cause it was missing all the late chapters 
          B                          C#                 F# 
They were gone with the liberty that everybody loves to abuse 


    F#      C#                  B 
And i'm not ready to never feel good again 
 B            C#             F# 
Mistakes were made by you as well, as well 
 F#            C#          B 
I will come by road, i will come by rail 
  B        C#      F# 
To come by isabel 

F#          C#     B 
Demons, my demons, Always behind me 
B            C#           F# 
Everywhere i go they come along 
F#             C#      B 
And demons, my demons, Always remind me 
B         C#                  F# 
They keep singing my favorite song 

F#         C#            B 
And i keep sliding all around 
       B                   C#         F# 
All my vices are gone that held me so well, so well 
    F#                    C#                   B 
I will come by control of the things you don't tell 
  B         C#      F# 
To come by isabel 

F#                   C#              B 
Early in the morning i lay awake in my bed 
B                  C#              F# 
Wondering when the day will show a trace 
   F#                  C#           B 
It always comes like a prison guard, looking in my cell 
B           C#               F# 
Shining his flashlight in my face 


                F#       C#                        B 
He always says "hey boy, Where do you think you're going" 
B            C#              F# 
There's only one place i can tell, i can tell 
F#          C#      B 
I come flat broke, i will come by hell 
  B         C#       F# 
To come by isabel 
 F#            C#             B 
I will come by control of the things you don't tell 
  B           C#       F# 
To come by my isabel
