Got a letter from a messenger
BbmBbm Piano Chord 
 C#C# Piano Chord 
            F#F# Piano Chord 

I read it when it came

   BbmBbm Piano Chord 

It said that you were wanted
C#C# Piano Chord 
                  G#G# Piano Chord 

You were bound and chained
C#C# Piano Chord 
                           F#F# Piano Chord 

You had loved and you were handled
C#C# Piano Chord 
                        G#G# Piano Chord 

You were poisoned you were paved

             C#C# Piano Chord 

Oh no, Oh no you were naked you were shamed

You could almost touch heaven
Right there in front of you
Liberty just slipped away from us
Now there's so much work to do
Oh the door that closes tightly
Is the door that can't swing wide
Oh no, Oh no but expecting to collide

C#C# Piano Chord 
                 F#F# Piano Chord 

For a minute I let my guard down
C#C# Piano Chord 

Not afraid to be found out
F#F# Piano Chord 

Completely forgotten
C#C# Piano Chord 

What our feels where all about
BbmBbm Piano Chord 
    F#F# Piano Chord

        C#C# Piano Chord 

Oh no, Oh no there's no need to be without

There's a chance and I will take it
This desire I can't give
Take my heart please don't break it
I will crawl to your foothill
I'm frightened but I'm coming
Please baby please lay still
Oh no, oh no not coming for the kill
Oh no, oh no not coming for the kill
Oh no, oh no not coming for the kill
