Intro: 4/4 C G 1. When the days are cold And the cards all fold Am F And the saints we see Are all made of gold C G When your dreams all fail And the ones we hail Am F Are the worst of all And the blood's run stale C G Am Pre Chorus: I want to hide the truth I want to shel-ter you F C But with the beast in-side There's no-where we can hide G Am No mat-ter what we breed We still are made of greed F C This is my king-dom come This is my king-dom come G Am Chorus: When you feel my heat Look in-to my eyes F C It's where my de-mons hide It's where my de-mons hide G Am Don't get too close It's dark in-side F C It's where my de-mons hide It's where my de-mons hide C G 2. At the cur-tain's call Is the last of all Am F When the lights fade out All the sin-ners crawl C G So they dug your grave And the mas-que-rade Am F Will come ca-lling out At the mess you made C G Am Pre Chorus: Don't want to let you down But I am hell bound F C Though this is all for you Don't want to hide the truth G Am No mat-ter what we breed We still are made of greed F C This is my king-dom come This is my king-dom come G Am Chorus: When you feel my heat Look into my eyes F C It's where my de-mons hide It's where my de-mons hide G Am Don't get too close It's dark in-side F C It's where my de-mons hide It's where my de-mons hide G Am Bridge: They say it's what you make I say it's up to fate F C It's wo-ven in my soul I need to let you go G Am Your eyes they shine so bright I want to save that life F C I can't es-cape this now Un-less you show me how G Am Chorus: When you feel my heat Look into my eyes F C It's where my de-mons hide It's where my de-mons hide G Am Don't get too close It's dark in-side F C It's where my de-mons hide It's where my de-mons hide
Notes:
- Level of Ease: Easy in C Major. We have used the version in C Major so that beginners can play... no barre chords.
- For more advanced players there is the option to play in the original key of E♭Major and also the option to play power chords esp. for anyone wanting to use distortion.
If you are playing in the original key, you will notice the B♭add4 chord option (formula 1-3-4-5)... not to be mistaken for a B♭sus4 (1-4-5). There are 2 versions of barre chords to choose from depending on your preference... 011331 OR 668766. It can also we written as B♭(4) - The same applies to capo users with Gadd4 replacing G... sounds great.
- Use the Transposer for any key
