Intro: Em C Em C 
 

      Em 
I was climbing now I'm falling, 
            C 
I've been pushed off by a man, 
        Em                           C 
who has made it to the top and now defends it 'cos he can, 
         Am                            Em 
and I have found a breach in his front line 
      Em  
I was open now I'm hidden, 
          C 
from the danger of his words, 
         Em                          C 
I have found a good position and i'll play for what he's worth 
      Am                         Em 
and he will find nowhere left to hide 
 

        C                        
I will lift her love and I'll break your spirit, 
        Em 
I will dig a hole and I'll throw you in it, 
      C                                             Am 
only time will tell if we're all just cynics on the run. 
                                 Em 
if we're all just cynics come undone.
 

      Em  
I was losing now we're drawing 
                C 
and I'm not afraid to draw my blood 
Em                               C 
I'm not backing down so I'd surrender cause you should 
              Am                                   Em 
and face the truth you raise the flag I'll tear it down. 
    Em                      
You may have won the battle 
          C 
but i'll take the fight to you 
          Em 
and your flag is on the ground 
           C                                 Am 
and your bones they rattle through, as they break you, 
                        Em 
your fear has now come true 
 
Chorus/ Bridge: 

        C                        
I will lift her love and I'll break your spirit, 
        Em 
I will dig a hole and I'll throw you in it, 
      C                                             Am 
only time will tell if we're all just cynics on the run. 
                                 C 
if we're all just cynics come undone 
                          Am 
All just waiting for the gun, 
                    C 
we are tied to the truth, 
                         Am 
the tie that binds me to you 
                   C 
I'm acting on my words, 
                      Am 
with all that I have heard, 
                 C 
with honesty in mind, 

you'll find 
      Em                                  C 
that I'm not the liar see the truth in my eyes! 
   Em                                    C 
No I'm not the liar see the truth in my eyes! 
 

        C                        
I will lift her love and I'll break your spirit, 
        Em 
I will dig a hole and I'll throw you in it, 
      C                                             Am 
only time will tell if we're all just cynics on the run. 
                                 Em 
if we're all just cynics come undone.
