We touch the walls of the city streets and  [Ver-

Didn't explain, sadly showed us our ways        se]

Of never asking why - …                 Em Em Bb  Bb

Cast down, it was heaven sent and       F  F  Bb  Bb

To the church no intent to repent       Em Em D# D#

On my knees         - Just to cry       Gm Gm F  F

Until you       - Travel to that   [Chorus - Intro]

Place you can't - Come back

Where the last  - Pain is gone and

All that's left - Is black                  [Intro]

Bright nights cease coming to me and    Cm Cm G7 G7

Some day they'll punish my deeds        Bb  Bb  F  F

And they'll find      - All the crimes

But then they ask when they gonna see them

Then they're gonna ask to feel the ghosts

The walls, the dreams - Oh, I've got mine

At last those    - Coming came and       ╔════════╗

They never       - Looked back           ║ Black  ║

With blinding    - Stars in their eyes   ║ Danger ║

But all they saw - Was black             ║ Mouse  ║

Fooled them, hoping to seem

Like the slayer of evil but the product of greed

    and - It's not a mask, so be honest with me

They can't afford to ignore that I'm the disease

Practical, since we had to be and

When they were old they came back to me

And they tried   - Oh, they tried

And when you     - Follow through

And wind up on   - Your back

Looking up at no - Stars in the sky         [Intro]

Those white clouds have - Turned it black      (x4)
