Capo 5, standard tuning
[Intro]
Em G Am Em
[Verse]
Em G Am C Em
You prayed to have your name scattered on the lips of the young
G Am C Em
Now you claim that it's you on the tips of their tongue
G Am C
And if you're proud of what you had to kill to get your thrill
Em G Am C B7
Well, I bet it stings to give up everything and realize that they don't want you
[Chorus]
Em G
It's a lonely road where the forgotten go
Am Em
Where your misery finds its company
Em G
It's a long way down to the sacred ground
Am B7 Em
Where the reaper's playing for keeps
[Post-Chorus]
G Am C Em
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
G Am C Em
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse]
G Am C Em
The hollow sound is ringing where your heart used to beat
G Am C Em
Have you found that your admiration will never set you free?
G Am C Em
Get your lies prepared, you're next in line for judgement day now
G Am C B7
Aren't you praying, aren't you begging that you're anyone else?
[Chorus]
Em G
It's a lonely road where the forgotten go
Am Em
Where your misery finds its company
Em G
It's a long way down to the sacred ground
Am B7 Em
Where the reaper's playing for keeps
[Post-Chorus]
G Am C Em
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
G Am C Em
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
G Am C Em
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
G Am C
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Bridge]
Em G
Well I bet you're sorry now
Am C
Well you did this to yourself
Em G
Well I bet you're sorry now
Am B7
Well aren't you sorry now
[Chorus]
Em G
It's a lonely road where the forgotten go
Am Em
Where your misery finds its company
Em G
It's a long way down to the sacred ground
Am B7
Where the reaper's playing for keeps
[Chorus]
Em G
It's a lonely road where the forgotten go
Am Em
Where your misery finds its company
Em G
It's a long way down to the sacred ground
Am B7 Em
Where the reaper's playing for keeps
[Outro]
G Am C Em
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
G Am C Em
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
G Am C Em
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
G Am C Em
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
