Aadd9                 b   c    a
Keep you in the dark, you know they
F♯°    Fmaj7
All pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began                                         x x x x

e e f♯ e g e a e  e f♯ e g e a                           [couplets: F♯°7 -> D/F♯]

Send in your skeletons, sing as their bones                (punchs  ||  ||||  )
Go marching in, again
The need you buried deep, the secrets that you keep
Are at the ready - are you ready?                          + F e G  dorénavant

I'm finished making sense, done pleading ignorance
That whole defense
Spinning infinity, boy the wheel is spinning me            (punchs + P.M.)
It's never-ending, never-ending

d    e   f♯  g
Same old story

  What if I say I'm not like the others?
  What if I say I'm not just another             x 2       w/ version pesante
  One of your plays, you're the pretender                        du riff
  What if I say I will never surrender?

A(5,6,7)  \

In time our soul untold, I'm just another soul             (punchs)
For sale, oh well
The page is out of print, we are not permanent             (P.M.)
We're temporary, temporary

  Same old story  +  Refrain  +  d  e  f♯  g

A(5,6,7)  x 2

I'm the voice inside your head you refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face mirrored in your stare
I'm what's left, I'm what's right, I'm the enemy                (c b a g)
I'm the hand that will take you down, bring you to your knees   (d c b c)
So who are you? Yeah who are you?                               (e  g  d)
Yeah who are you? Yeah who are yoooou?                          ( < < < )  !

Keep you in the dark                                         (doux)
You know they all pretend

  Refrain  x 2  (2e w/ Keep you in the dark                d  e  f♯  g
                       You know they all pretend)

So who are you? Yeah who are you?
Yeah, who are you?                                         (fin sur punchs Am)
