Allister - Blackout: chords

     D#m
It's frightening
            F#
How you can see the
             G#m
changes happening
When they move so
D#m C# D#m
fast
    D#m
And lightning
           F#
Except the odds are
              G#m
growing These lonely times
               D#m  C# D#m
will strike me twice

B                  C#
The screams of a thousand
           A#m
voices Are whispers inside
    B
my head The echoes
   C#
of self defense

Chorus:
F#
So how many times
        C#
will it take
To cover up the
        G#m
past mistakes
And hide behind a
            B       C#
crying you face of shame
F#
And how many
              C#
nights will I hide
and blink under the
           G#m
blackened skies
I've cursed out
    B    C#   D#m B
so many times

     D#m
It's biting
         F#
when the cold wind
blows through
          G#m
weathered eyes
               D#m C# D#m
and blistered skin
     D#m
it's quiet now
              F#
it's like the calm before
           G#m
the raging violence
               D#m C# D#m C# D#m
of the storm begins

B
and when this comes
C#
crashing down
     D#m
I'll fall harder
        B
than before
I'll start this
    C#
all over now

Chorus:
F#
So how many times
        C#
will it take
To cover up the
        G#m
past mistakes
And hide behind a
            B       C#
crying you face of shame
F#
And how many
              C#
nights will I hide
and blink under the
           G#m
blackened skies
I've cursed out
    B    C#      D#m B
so many times before

G#m              F#/A#
I'll beg for the ending
                B
or just for forgiveness
or just for forgiveness
G#m               F#/A#
I'll wait in the shadows
                  B            C#
of a battle I'm close to losing

F#
So how many times
        C#
will it take
To cover up this
        G#m
smiling face of silence
      B
This face of shame
F#
And how many
              C#
nights will I hide
and blink under the
           G#m
blackened skies
I've cursed out
    B    C#      F#
so many times before
So how many times
        C#
will it take
To cover up the
        G#m
past mistakes
And hide behind a
            B       C#
crying you face of shame
F#
And how many
              C#
nights will I hide
and blink under the
           G#m
blackened skies
I've cursed out
    B    C#   F#
so many times
