Intro C#  F#m  C# 
      C#  F#m  C# 

 
C# 
Sitting in my ivory tower invincible to fall 
C# 
Some would say my final hour as you scale the wall 
C# 
Step inside I dare you all 
    C#                   D        C# 
And breathe the lies and heed the call 
B                F#/A# 
When this all is said and done 
A              F#m 
I will have my way 
    B                 A     F#m 
And you will take the blame 

                C#m 
You're over the line 
          A 
Under the gun I am the reason 
E/G#            C#m 
For what you've done 
           C#m 
Tooth of a crime 
             A 
You can't outrun 
                   E/G#      C#m 
Under the spell of my silver tongue (Yeah) 

( C#  F#m  C# ) 
( C#  F#m  C# ) 

C# 
I swear to God I'll find a way to prove I still belong 
C# 
I'd rather watch it burn away than say that I was wrong 
   C# 
So step inside I dare you all 
    C# 
And breathe my fire and heed my call 

                C#m 
You're over the line 
          A 
Under the gun I am the reason 
E/G#            C#m 
For what you've done 
           C#m 
Tooth of a crime 
             A 
You can't outrun 
                   E/G#      C#m 
Under the spell of my silver tongue 
                C#m 
You're over the line 
          A 
Under the gun I'll keep on scheming 
E/G#          C#m 
For what's to come 
           C#m 
Tooth of a crime 
             A 
You can't outrun 
                   E/G#      C#m 
Under the spell of my silver tongue 

C# 
This alliance built on fear and rage 
C# 
Ends in violence if I have my way 
C# 
Fear spite lie to divide us 
C# 
Hate strife bring decay 

                C#m 
You're over the line 
          A 
Under the gun I am the reason 
E/G#            C#m 
For what you've done 
           C#m 
Tooth of a crime 
             A 
You can't outrun 
                   E/G#      C#m 
Under the spell of my silver tongue 
                C#m 
You're over the line 
          A 
Under the gun I am the reason 
E/G#            C#m 
For what you've done 
           C#m 
Tooth of a crime 
             A 
You can't outrun 
                   E/G#      C#m 
Under the spell of my silver tongue 

Final C#  F#  C#  F#m  C#
