Strum an open E chord leading out of this and into the first verse...

Verse:

E                                B
  Heard this line one time about trying to save the world,
A                                 E
  But do you ever try to save yourself?
E                           B
  A wild-eyed suicide drive, remains a fake
               C#m                          G#m 
  As if you're never, never gonna make that same mistake. . .

Pre-chorus:

(use some distortion here and let the chords ring)
Asus2 (=A5)
Strung out as the night comes crawling,
B5
A halo of thorns is falling. . .

Chorus (you can use clean chords or power chords here):

E              B 
  Blood runs cold. . .
                  C#m 
  I feel it in my bones
                     A              B
  But you don't know - your time is up -
                 E
  And blood runs cold

Play intro figure 2 leading into the next verse.

Middle eight: (key change here!)

C
From you, love was kind
Gm
Resolved, left starved and blind,
Bb                      C
Wasted and naked in the rain -
C
Denying twist of fate
Gm
Demanding Heaven's gate
Bb                      C    D and slide to E. . .
Lying in wait above the wind 

Solo chords:

E / C#m / A / E

Then end with one more pre-chorus and chorus.

End on E -> intro figure 2 -> E.


I heard this line one time 'bout tryin' to save the world 
But have you ever tried to save yourself 
A wide-eyed suicide drive 
Remains a fake 
As if you'd ever 
Ever go and make the same mistake 
Strung out as the night comes crawlin' 
Your halo of thorns is fallin' 
Blood runs cold 



I feel it in my bones 
But you don't know your time is up 
Blood runs cold 
Somebody somewhere is screamin' out the words 
But do they ever really ease the pain 
I guess what I'm trying to say 
Is whose life is it anyway because livin' 
Living is the best revenge 
You can play 
This fall from grace 
I see your face 
It's over 
Repeat Chorus 
From you love was kind 
Resolved left scarred and blind 
Wasted and naked in the wings 
Denying twist of fate 
Demanding Heaven's gate 
Lying in wait above the wind 
Strung out as the night comes crawlin' 
Your halo of thorns is fallin' 
Repeat Chorus 
Blood runs cold 


Repeat Chorus 
From you love was kind 
Resolved left scarred and blind 
Wasted and naked in the wings 
Denying twist of fate 
Demanding Heaven's gate 
Lying in wait above the wind 
Strung out as the night comes crawlin' 
Your halo of thorns is fallin' 
Repeat Chorus 
Blood runs cold 
Blood runs cold
