[verse]
C#m
Keep you in the dark
               A#m7b5    Amaj
You know they all     pretend

C#m
Keep you in the dark
           A#m7b5   Amaj
And so it all     began


[drums]


[verse]
C#m
Send in your skeletons
                                 F#/A#    A
Sing as their bones go marching in... again
C#m
They need you buried deep
                               F#/A#
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Amaj    B
Are you ready?

C#m
I'm finished making sense
               B
Done pleading ignorance
       F#/A#             A  (B)
That whole       defense

C#m
Spinning infinity, boy
              B
The wheel is spinning me
       F#/A#         A    (B)
It's never-ending, never-ending
F#
Same old story...


[chorus]
C#m
What if I say I'm not like the others?
C#m                (C#m)  (D#m)   (E)    (A#m7b5)  F#/A#
What if I say I'm not   just   another one        of your plays?
F#
You're the pretender
A                        (B)
What if I say that I will never surrender?

C#m
What if I say I'm not like the others?
C#m                (C#m)  (D#m)   (E)    (A#m7b5)  F#/A#
What if I say I'm not   just   another one        of your plays?
F#
You're the pretender
A                        (B)
What if I say that I will never surrender?

[verse]
C#m
In time or so I'm told
                         F#/A#            A (B)
I'm just another soul for sale... oh, well

C#m
The page is out of print
           B
We are not permanent
      F#/A#        A   (B)
We're temporary, temporary
F#
Same old story...

[interlude]
C#5
I'm the voice inside your head
C#5
You refuse to hear
C#5
I'm the face that you have to face
C#5
Mirrored in your stare

C#5
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
C#5
I'm the enemy
C#5
I'm the hand that will take you down
C#5
Bring you to your knees

C#5
So who are you?
C#5
Yeah, who are you?
C#5
Yeah, who are you?
C#5
Yeah, who are you?

C#5
Yeah, who are you?

Yeah, who are you?
