[Verse 1]
Fm                                      Bbm
Call me when the smoke from the bridges burning
                          Db
Gets in your eyes and you need someone
   Eb
To take the blame
     Bb
Once more, like you've done before

   Gm
So when you need a scapegoat
     Cm
Just place the blame on me
Eb                  F        Bb
I never asked to be anyone's hero
Eb               F
I never asked to carry the torch


[Pre-Chorus]
    Db                 Bbm
I'm here for you to crucify
                 Fm      Bbm
Waiting for your lies to stain me once more
   Db
So let me take that cross from you
     Cm             C
I'll bear it like I always do


[Chorus]
Bb                   F
Out of the night and into the light
      Gm            Eb
Where I swear my allegiance
     Bb
I'll stand by your side and
F                Gm         Dm
I will ease your sorrow and grief

     Bb                  F
Your burden I bear, your pain I will share
   Gm             Eb
To you I will surrender
Continues after the ad
Bb               F                  Gm   G
But in the end I know I'll have the last laugh

     Ab    Bb             Cm  Eb
I'll smile at the dawn of solace
    Ab    Bb               Cm
And laugh on the reckoning day


[Verse 2]
Fm                                 Bbm
Once more the fools will return to parade you
                           Db
And love you until they'll hate you
    Eb             Bb
For what you've become

And you'll call me

    Gm
But I am overburdened
    Cm
And I can take no more
Eb                   F
I am more tired than ever before
    Eb                    F
And all that I want is to settle the score


[Chorus]
Bb                     F
Deep in the night I'll hide from the light
      Gm            Eb
Where I swore my allegiance
      Bb
Won't stand by your side
    F                 Gm        Dm
And I won't ease your sorrow or pain

   Bb                   F
No burden to bear, I've suffered my share
    Gm                Eb
Now darkness feels so tender
Bb               F                  Gm   G
And in the end I know I'll have the last laugh

     Ab    Bb             Cm  Eb
I'll smile at the dawn of solace
    Ab    Bb               Cm
And laugh on the reckoning day
    Ab        Bb         Cm  Eb
And dream, if only for a moment
    Ab     Bb         Cm
For we are of a dying kind


[Hook 1]
Dm          C                  Dm        Gm
You used to break me, rape me, hate me
     Dm        C                  Dm     C
'Til there was nothing left worth saving
    Em      D                Em      D
My heart is cold and growing colder
    C                                D
Now be a man, just wake me when it's over


[Solo]


[Chorus]
Bb                     F
Deep in the night I'll hide from the light
      Gm            Eb
Where I swore my allegiance
      Bb
Won't stand by your side
    F                 Gm        Dm
And I won't ease your sorrow or pain

   Bb                   F
No burden to bear, I've suffered my share
    Gm                Eb
Now darkness feels so tender
Bb               F                  Gm   G
And in the end I know I'll have the last laugh

     Ab    Bb             Cm  Eb
I'll smile at the dawn of solace
    Ab    Bb               Cm
And laugh on the reckoning day
    Ab        Bb         Cm  Eb
And dream, if only for a moment
    Ab     Bb         Cm     Ab
For we are of a dying kind
