Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]There's a place I don't
want you to [E]know of
Hidden [Am]deep in a blindfolded [G]heart -
Where the [Cm]desperate walk in si[Fm]lence
Waiting [Bb]for the ghosts to de[Eb]part

[Verse 2]
There's a [Am]game I don't want
you [E]to know of
Masquer[Am]ade, Cirque [G]du Dècadence
A [Cm]pawn in an empty [Fm]chessboard
Moved [Bb]around by a hand of [Eb]a fool

[Verse 3]
Never [Fm]played it safe
[Bb]It's a wicke[Eb]d game
Any [Fm]hand, any [Ab]call, I'm [Bb]in

[Verse 4]
It said: [Ebm]"Love like [Abm]you've
never been [C#]hurt
And [D#m]dance till [G#m]dawn like
you've just been [C#]born
A [D#m]perfect toy [G#m]made by perfect t[A#m]ools
Playing [B]Ring Around the Rosie
with [C#]a crowd of fools
Take a [D#m]hold of my h[G#m]and,
I have sights to show [C#]you
[D#m]Gingerbread [G#m]house,
Pleasure Island, [C#]Big Blue
[D#m]Turn off the l[G#m]ight,
close your eyes wide [A#m]shut
And [B]welcome the [C#]precious

[Verse 5]
I [Am]have seen far, I've never [E]seen close
There [Am]are no mirrors on my w[G]all
Si[Cm]lent is the call of my [Fm]ocean
And [Bb]the sirens washed [Eb]ashore
All [Am]the sins they have long shad[E]ows
Turn [Am]the switch and the past comes [G]alive
Live and [Cm]learn, 1, 2, 3, know [Fm]your ABC
It's their [Bb]answer to every [Eb]"why"

[Verse 6]
Never [Fm]played [Bb]it safe
It's a [Eb]wicked game
Any [Fm]hand, any [Ab]call, I'm [Bb]in
