Introduction:
Cm Fm Cm
Apathy was a game I never played
Cm Fm Cm D
'Cause agony was a feeling I'd been steeped in slow
Cm Fm Cm
Swapping all my smiles for a scowl
Cm Fm Cm D G
And sheltering my shortcomings from every prying eye
Ab Gm
But I'm letting the old demons out
Fm G
Bringing down the walls around
Ab D
All the denial and the doubt
(Solo)
Cm Fm Cm
I won't be satisfied 'til the saccharine faces fade
Cm Fm Cm D
Making a mockery of mythologies and tried traditions
Cm Fm Cm
For I was blind now I can see
Cm Fm Cm D G
Every obstacle through soliloquy clears its path in front of me
Ab Gm
But I'm letting the old demons out
Fm G
Bringing down the walls around
Ab D
All the denial and the doubt
Fm
And If I suddenly sink
Gm Fm Gm
Into a cowardly drink
Ab Gm
To drown out the swarm
Ab Gm
of the hive minded bees
Cm Bb Ab Gm
Strike the spirits from my rigid wrists
Fm Gm Cm
And pull me out of the tide I'm tumbling in
(Solo)
Ab Gm
But I'm letting the old demons out
Fm G
Bringing down the walls around
Ab Gm
All the denial and the doubt
Fm G
Every painful plea aloud
Ab Gm
Kicking the old demons out
Fm G
Bringing down the walls around
Ab D
All the denial and the doubt
