[Intro]
E                   Fmaj7#11/E
Devil unkind always creeping in the blind
     Dsus2          Cadd9          E
With shadows of the dearly departed
E                         Fmaj7#11/E
Planting the seed that in time will bloom to be
Dsus2             Cadd9     E
Trouble that will rip you apart
 
[Pre-Verse]
E
(While playing this E chord for this part, add some color to
the chord by pulling off and hammering on with your index finger
on the first fret of the G string and on the third fret of the B
string with your pinky. So, this gives you Em: 0-2-2-0-0-0 and
E7: 0-2-2-1-3-0)
 
[Verse 1]
E                  Aadd9/E
I cannot lie, I am barely holding on
              Cmaj7/E             D6/E             E
Caught in the mire I've come to know for way too long
E                              Aadd9/E
Drawn to the light but now the light is dead and gone
              Cmaj7/E         D6/E
If there is a God, why did he take my father's soul
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
*Just after "father's soul" you mute the strings with your left
hand fingers and play this scratchy percussive pattern to the
rhythm. Halfway through it you play this lick:
e|---------------|
B|---------------|
G|---------------|
D|-----------0---|
A|-----0-1-2-----|
E|-0-3---------0-|
 
[Chorus]
         C                  G
I cannot fight this worried mind
       Asus2              E
In the end, it's all my fault
             C                  G
The fate you find, you choose in time
Asus2                          E
When you draw the Devil on the wall
 
[Pre-Verse]
E
(With hammer-ons and pull-offs)
 
[Verse 2]
E                        Aadd9/E
Voices inside, they keep screaming in my head
           Cmaj7/E         D6/E             E
A choir of anguish pulling me into the dark
E                            Aadd9/E
A slow-moving calm that I am needing left for dead
          Cmaj7/E         D6/E
Solace to me, it seems to be so very far
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
*Just like before your play the scratchy pattern but this time
without the lick, and halfway through you stop completely
before playing the chorus.
 
[Chorus]
         C                  G
I cannot fight this worried mind
       Asus2              E
In the end, it's all my fault
             C                  G
The fate you find, you choose in time
Asus2                          E
When you draw the Devil on the wall
 
[Instrumental]
E  Fmaj7#11/E  Dsus2  Cadd9  E
 
[Verse]
E                       Fmaj7#11/E
The Devil unkind always creeping in the blind
     Dsus2          Cadd9          E
With shadows of the dearly departed
E                         Fmaj7#11/E
Planting the seed that in time will bloom to be
Dsus2             Cadd9     E
Trouble that will rip you apart
 
[Instrumental]
C  G  Asus2  E
C  G  Asus2  E
 
[Chorus]
         C                  G
I cannot fight this worried mind
       Asus2              E
In the end, it's all my fault
             C                  G
The fate you find, you choose in time
Asus2                          E
When you draw the Devil on the wall
