[Verse 1]
[Em]The morals of life and the perils of death
Take the wrong way out
running [Am]out of b[D]reath
[Em]Meet my match in the afterlife
Suppress the demons that [Am]plague the night
A [Em]tortured mind is a safe place to go
But the truth lurks down
in the [C]dark be[D]low
[Em]Step inside my inquisitive mind
Are you scared at what [Am]you just might [D]find
[Em]

[Verse 2]
[Em]See myself in the hall of mirrors
A different shape every [C]step I [D]take
A [Em]different mind every step of the line
But in the end [Am]they are all [D]mine
[Em]Laughing sorrow inside your head
Can't get out just a [C]feeling of [D]dread
I [Em]know this burden's a heavy load
A dark mistake never
[Am]ending [D]road[Em]

The black jack
king and the red queen clash
The artful dodger he [C]counts his [D]stash
[Em]The joker's wild like an impish child
While madame fortune she [C]waits in[D]side
[Em]The good luck charm is overkill
The tired old soldier says [C]fire at [D]will

[Verse 6]

Meanwhile we play the waiting game
The clock is struck the [C]horse is [D]lame
[Em]And when we think that this is done
Chance your luck a [C]four leafed [D]one
[Em]You hedge your bets the battle lost
To wait in vain and [C]count the [D]cost
[Em]The thin edged line
Between good and bad
And cast the luck be [Am]happy
