[Intro]
E – A – E – A
[Verse 1]
E
You have forsaken
All the love you've taken
A
Sleepin' on a razor
E
There's nowhere left to fall
Your body's aching
Every bone is breakin'
A
Nothin' seems to shake it
E
It just keeps holdin' on
G E B E B G E
(listen carefuly for the rhythm)
Ah ah ah ah
[Verse 2]
E
Your soul is able
Death is all you cradle
A
Sleepin' on the nails
E
There's nowhere left to fall
You have admired
Every man desires
A
Everyone is king
E
When there's no one left to pawn
G E B E B G E (listen carefuly for the rhythm)
Ah ah ah ah
[Solo]
E A G E A G E A G E B G E
[Verse 3]
E
There is no peace here
War is never cheap dear
A
Love will never meet here
E
It just gets sold for parts
You cannot fight it
All the world denies it
G
Open up your eyelids
E
Let your demons run
G E B E B
(listen carefuly for the rhythm)
Ah ah ah
[Bridge]
E (repeat this guitarpart)
[Chorus]
G E
I thread the needle through
G
You beat the devil's tattoo
G E
I thread the needle through
G
You beat the devil's tattoo
G E
I thread the needle through
G
You beat the devil's tattoo
G E
I thread the needle through
G
You beat the devil's tattoo
G E
I bled the needle through
G
You beat the devil's tattoo
G E
I thread the needle through
G
You beat the devil's tattoo
G E
I bled the needle through
G
You beat the devil's tattoo
G E
I thread the needle through
G
You beat the devil's tattoo
