Introduction:
G
Happiness is just a word to me
D# F
And it might have meant a thing or two
C
If I'd known the difference
G
Emptiness, a lonely parody
D# F
And my life, another smokin' gun
C
A sign of my indifference
D#
Always keepin' safe inside
F C
Where no one ever had a chance
G
To penetrate a break in
D#
Let me tell you some have tried
F C
But I would slam the door so tight
G
That they could never get in
G
Kept my cool under lock and key
D# F
And I never shed a tear
C
Another sign of my condidtion
G
Fear of love or bitter vanity
D# F
That kept me on the run
C
The main events at my confession
D#
I kept a chain upon my door
F C
That would shake the shame of Cain
G
Into a blind submission
D#
The burning ghost without a name
F C
Was calling all the same
G
But I wouldn't listen
G
The longer I'd stall
The further I'd crawl
A
The further I'd crawl
The harder I'd fall
F C G
I was crawlin' into the fire
G
The more that I saw
The further I'd fall
A
The further I'd fall
The lower I'd crawl
F C G
I kept fallin' into the fire
G
Suddenly it occurred to me
D# F
The reason for the run and hide
C
Had totaled my existnce
G
Everything left on the other side
D# F
Could never be much worse that this
C
But could I go the distance
D#
I faced the door and all my shame
F C
Tearin' off each piece of chain
G
Until they all were broken
D#
But no matter how I tried
F C
The other side was licked so tight
G
That door it wouldn't open
G
Gave it all that I got
And started to knock
A
Shouted for someone
To open the lock
F C G
I just gotta get through the door
G
And the more that I knocked
The hotter I got
A
The hotter I got
The harder I'd knock
F C G
I just gotta break through the door
G
Gotta knock a little harder
Gotta knock a little harder
A
Gotta knock a little harder
F C G
Break through the door
