G C
I have seen this once before
I have felt these colors
G C
I have known you for so long
When we ran in circles
[Verse]
C
For our sake
F C
I will wait for you
Am G
I walk alone, into the darkness
F E
I came toe to toe and face to face with the beast
Am G
He knew me by my name, it was surprising
F E
He knew everything about me that I despised

Spell your name in the sand and do it with your own blood

Am C
Bitten by the fangs of circumstance

Outward light a reflection

Underneath the slab of material

Mutable ways of my fortune

Bitten by my fangs

I played the sinner
F
I played the part of me that no one wanted to see

[Verse - Lead]
On the higher strings, the second run of the riff may not start with the open note
I find it hard to tell, but this is how I choose to play it...
Use Wah pedal / effect on the second riff.

The solo finishes playing over the first two bars (repeats)
The rhythm under these two bars is just the 9 and 0 power chords ringing out.

I have seen this once before
I have felt these colors
I have known you for so long
When we ran in circles
For our sake
I will wait for you
I walk alone into the darkness
I came toe to toe and face to face with the beast
He knew me by my name, it was surprising
He knew everything about me that I despised
I have seen this once before
I have felt these colors
I have known you for so long
When we ran in circles
He had gold and he had silver
He had all the women and wine that you'd ever need
Just one thing, a prick of your finger
Spell your name in the sand and do it with your own blood
Bitten by the fangs of circumstance
Outward light a reflection
We are all equal
Underneath the slab of material
Mutable ways of my fortune
Bitten by my fangs
Gave me a smile, gave me a whisper
Lay me down in linens to watch me sleep
I played the fool
I played the sinner
I played the part of me that no one wanted to see
