[Verse]
E                                 G       E
They fall in line, one at a time, ready to play
         D       G
(I can't see them anyway)
E                          G       G          E
No time to lose, we've got to move, steady your hand
      D       G
(I am losing sight again)
C                       D               E
Fire your guns, it's time to run, blow me away
 E                           C
(I will stay in the mess I made)
                       D                       E
After the fall, we'll shake it off, show me the way

[Chorus]
         C        D         E
Only the strongest will survive
           C     G         E
Lead me to heaven when we die
         C     D         E
I am the shadow on the wall
            C     G      E
I'll be the one to save us all

[Verse]
E                                   G           A  E
There's nothing left, so save your breath, lying in wait
         D                E
(Caught inside this tidal wave)
                     G                    A      E
Your cover's blown, nowhere to go, holding your fate
          D     G     (C)
(Loaded, I will walk alone)
C                           D             E
Fire your guns, it's time to run, blow me away
  E                          C
(I will stay in the mess I made)
                      D            N.C.          E
After the fall, we'll shake it off, show me the way

[Chorus]
         C        D         E
Only the strongest will survive
           C     G         E
Lead me to heaven when we die
         C     D         E
I am the shadow on the wall
            C     G      (C)
I'll be the one to save us all

[Pre-Chorus]
C              D
You wanted it back
               N.C.
(Don't make me beg!)

E
(Here it comes!)

E
(Die!)

[Outro]
E        C        D         E
Only the strongest will survive
           C     G         E
Lead me to heaven when we die
         C     D         E
I am the shadow on the wall
            C     G      E
I'll be the one to save us all
E
Save us all
