The other tab uploaded here is almost totally wrong. Sorry, pal.
Intro:
, , , , , , x 4
Verse 1 :
Happiness is just a word to me,
And it might have meant a thing or two
, / 4,
if I'd known the difference.
Emptiness, a lonely parody,
And my life, another smokin’ gun
, / 4,
A sign of my indifference.
Always keepin’ safe inside
Where no one ever had a chance
, / 4,
To penetrate or break in.
Let me tell you some have tried,
but I slam the door so tight
, / 4,
That they could never get in.
Verse 2 - repeat chords
Chorus 1 (same as intro):
The longer I'd stall
The further I'd crawl
The further I'd crawl
The harder I'd fall
I was crawlin' into the fire
The more that I saw
The further I'd fall
The further I'd fall
The lower I'd crawl
I kept fallin' into the fire
Guitar Solo - repeat chorus chords
Verse 3 (key change):
Suddenly it occurred to me
The reason for the run and hide
, ,
Had totaled my existence
Everything left on the other side
Could never be much worse that this
, ,
But could I go the distance
I faced the door and all my shame
Tearin' off each piece of chain
, ,
Until they were broken
But no matter how I tried
The other side was locked so tight
, ,
The door it wouldn't open
Chorus 2 :
Gave it all that I got
And started to knock
Shouted for someone
To open the lock
, ,
I just gotta get through the door
And the more that I knocked
The hotter I got
The hotter I got
The harder I'd knock
, ,
I just gotta break through the door
Gotta knock a little harder
Gotta knock a little harder
Gotta knock a little harder
, ,
Break through the door
(repeat until end)
