[Verse 1]
            G#m  C#m            E
You were my halogen, guiding me home
        G#m      C#m        E
My only weapon when I was alone
           G#m    C#m               E
You were a big city, one I got lost in
               G#m      F#       B  C#m  A  E
And when you spoke with me, I fell open
         C#m  A  E
I fell open

[Pre-Chorus]
            C#m                     A                  E
But did you know that cost when you broke your promise?    (I wasn't prepared)
                C#m                      A              E   B
That when your bombs went off they would come down on us

[Chorus]
        C#m        A       E
I was a knife in a gunfight
      G#m            C#m
And I fought so madly
           A                  G#m
You were a wolf in the daylight, And you almost had me

[Instrumental]
C#m A E G#m

[Tag]
                      C#m A E G#m
And you almost had me

[Verse 2]
                G#m      C#m               E
I thought you were showing all your colors
                G#m          C#m
But you were in sheep's clothing
                   E
A mind of another
             G#m          C#m
Can a slave preach freedom?
                       E             G#m     F#
Can a captive take hold of what they believe in?

[Pre-Chorus]
            C#m                     A                  E
But did you know that cost when you broke your promise? (I wasn't prepared)
               C#m                       A              E B
That when your bombs went off they would come down on us

[Chorus]
        C#m        A        E
I was a knife in a gunfight
      G#m              C#m
And I fought so madly
           A                   E
You were a wolf in the daylight
        B            C#m
And you almost had me
       A         E
With a blindside
       G#m           C#m
And it hurt so badly
           A                   E
You were a wolf in the daylight
        G#m           C#m
And you almost had me

[Bridge]
C#m                         G#m             A
I guess I knew when your heart stop beating, I'd never let you sink your teeth in
C#m                      E                  B
I guess I knew when your heart stop beating, I'd never let you sink your teeth in

[Breakdown]
C#m    A
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
E             G#m
Oh-oh-oh (you almost had me)
C#m    A
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
E             G#m
Oh-oh-oh (and you almost had me)
C#m                      A                  E                   G#m
I guess I know when your heart stop beating (oh-oh-oh), And you almost had me
C#m                      A                  E          G#m
I guess I knew when your heart stop beating (oh-oh-oh)

[Chorus]
        C#m        A        E      G#m             C#m
I was a knife in a gunfight, And I fought so madly
           A                   G#m
You were a wolf in the daylight, And you almost had me
