E  G  A2  G-F#-E  (X2)

E           G              A2 
Blind these eyes who never tried
                  E
To lose temptation
E      G        A2
I'm so scared, where's the hesitation?
G                         A2
You so easily proved that You could save a man
G         A2
I am that man

(Chorus)
E                    G
It's better off this way
       A2
To be deaf, dumb and lame
E                    G     A2  G-F#
Than to be the way I am, I am
E                     G
It's better off this way
         A2
Than be groping for the flame
E                    G      A2
Than to be the way I am, I am

E  G  A2  G-F#-E  (X2)

E           G              A2 
Still this tongue for I am hung
                     E
By this wicked notion
E          G      A2       
Tame the beast, release

The noose I've woven
G                 A2
O, wasted tears dripping from my tongue
         G     A2  
Well I'm hung, hung

(Chorus)
G A  (4x string solo)

E           G              A2 
Crooked path you never asked
                     G-F#-E
You just left me there
E      G             A2
And I deal with the aftermath

And you don't even care
G                   A2                          G     A2
O, crooked feet you nimbly meet the place of my fears

(Chorus)
