C5 E B3 G6 F2
In other lives
C5 E B3 G6 F2 C5
In a bulletproof suit with some friends of mine
C5 E B3 G6 F2
I wrote the plotline
C5 D4 E B3 Ebadd9 Cm G/B
Only I knew who survived
Ebadd9 Cm G/B
Who survived
C5 E B3 G6 F2
And through the night
C5 E B3 G6 F2 C5
In a really fast car on an uphill climb
C5 E B3 G6 F2
Blew past a danger sign
C5 D4 E B3 Ebadd9 Cm G/B
And fell through darkness, sublime
Ebadd9 Cm G/B
But awoke just in time
Am G
F Am G
They're gonna come to light tonight
F Am G
They're gonna come to light tonight
F Am G
They're gonna come to light tonight
F C5
But not for the last time

Verse 2:
C5 E B3 G6 F2
In younger days
C5 E B3 G6 F2 C5
I do my schoolwork while the neighbors play
C5 E B3 G6 F2
But stare into space
C5 D4 E B3 Ebadd9 Cm G/B
With no feeling to convey
Ebadd9 Cm G/B
With no look on my face
(same)
In younger days
I'm stealing bases while my mother prays
And dreading to wake
Longing for one more play
Chorus:
Am G
F Am G
They're gonna come to light tonight
F Am G
They're gonna come to light tonight
F Am G
They're gonna come to light tonight
F
But not for the last time
