F#m               A
Night falls with gravity
    F#m                A
The earth turns  from sanity
    D            A
Taking my only friend I know
   C#m
He leaves a lot
     E          D
His name is hope

Chorus:
     A            D
I'm never what I like
I'm double sided
F#m               E
And I just can't hide
I kinda like it
A                 D
When I make you cry
                F#m
Cos I'm twisted up
            E
I'm twisted up inside

    F#m
The horrors of the night melt away
                 A
Under the warm glow of survival of the day
                     F#m
Then we move on, my shadow grows taller along with my fears
         A
And my frame shrinks smaller as night grows near
F#m                       A
When the sun is climbing window sills
F#m                    A
And the silver lining rides the hills
   D                A
I will be saved for one whole day
  C#m                    E             D
Until the sun makes the hills its grave

Chorus - x2

A            F#m
I'm semi-automatic
                    E
My prayers schizophrenic
                       D
But I'll live on, yeah I'll live on,
yeah I'll live on

E               F#m         Bm
By the time the night wears off,
     D                 E
The dust is down and shadows burn
E                F#m      Bm
I will rise and stand my ground,
D                E
Waiting for the night's return.

Chorus - x2
