C/G -
leading me astray.. you haunt me like a
G - F -
ghost, and that scares me the most
Chorus:
Am B (bass note only)
There you are the

how can I believe in what I have?
F G Am -

on my own
Verse 2

Bridge:

Think I've had enough,
I must find my way,
I've fallen off the edge,
To find that I've gone blind,
You're leading me astray,
You haunt me like a ghost,
And that scares me the most.
There you are the devil on my shoulder,
Smiling as the flames are growing colder,
How can I believe in what I have?
For a little confidence I'll grab,
But when my hand goes out don't take it,
For I'm trying to make it on my own.
I feel it in my bones,
Any minute now,
This train of thought will leave the station,
My impatience
Will come out to play,
You've turned out to be
The only face I see.
There you are the devil on my shoulder,
Smiling as the flames are growing colder,
How can I believe in what I have?
For a little confidence I'll grab,
But when my hand goes out don't take it,
For I'm trying to make it on my own.
Running through these empty hallways
I can tell that I am not alone,
You spin a web in every room
And try to break the backbone that I've grown.
Will I make my own path
Or wander where I'm thrown?
Will I make my own path
Or wander where I'm thrown?
There you are the devil on my shoulder,
Smiling as the flames are growing colder,
How can I believe in what I have?
For a little confidence I'll grab
But when my hand goes out don't take it,
For I'm trying to make it on my own.
Will I make my own path or
Wander where I'm thrown?
Will I make my own path or
Wander where I'm thrown?
