Like a siren in my head that I was placed to repeat
Like a blind man that was shoved into the speeding driver's seat
Like a face, that learned to speak
                     C ccc  F fff
When all it knew was how to fight

Like a misery that keeps me from just going out astray
Like an illness that I'm about to waken from its state
Contradiction, a premonition
Now are the aids who I deny, I deny

  E --00-0-0-000-0-0-000-0-0-0--  +  [fin riff]

  I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place
  I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace
  I blind my eyes, I hardly feel it passing me by

  I open just in time to say goodbye

    Almost like your life, almost like your endless fight                 X = E
    Cursed, the day is long, realize you don't belong                     X = C/5
    Disconnect somehow, never stop complaining now                        X = D/5
    Almost like your fight, and there it went, almost like your life      X = E!(E)

[riff]  x 2  2: contre-Lars  [joint]

Like a bullet keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think
Like a raging river, drowning when I only need a drink
Like a poison, that I swallow
But I want the world to die

Like a release from a prison that I didn't know I was in
Like a fight to live the present, I pictured it like this
Like a general, without a mission
Until the wars start again, start again

[joint]

Like a touch from hell, I feel how hot
That it can get if you get caught
Like a strike from heaven that turns that key
That brings you straight down to your knees

Like a touch from hell, I feel how hot
That it can get if I get caught
Like a strike from heaven to reprieve
That brings you straight down to your knees
