Key: F#
Chords used:
C# - x46664
Intro: Ebm--B-- x4
Verse 1:
It's frightening
How you can see the
changes happening
When they move so
fast
And lightning
Except the odds are
growing These lonely times
will strike me twice
Refrain 1:
The screams of a thousand
voices Are whispers inside
my head The echoes
of self defense
Chorus 1:
So how many times
will it take
To cover up the
past mistakes
And hide behind a
crying you face of shame
And how many
nights will I hide
and blink under the
blackened skies
I've cursed out
B C# Ebm--B-- x2
so many times
Verse 2:
It's biting
when the cold wind
blows through
weathered eyes
and blistered skin
it's quiet now
it's like the calm before
the raging violence
of the storm begins
Refrain 2:
and when this comes
crashing down
I'll fall harder
than before
I'll start this
all over now
Chorus 2:
So how many times
will it take
To cover up the
past mistakes
And hide behind a
crying you face of shame
And how many
nights will I hide
and blink under the
blackened skies
I've cursed out
B C# Ebm--B-- x2
so many times before
Bridge:
I'll beg for the ending
or just for forgiveness
or just for forgiveness
I'll wait in the shadows
of a battle I'm close to losing
Chorus 3:
Silence:
So how many times
will it take
To cover up this
smiling face of silence
This face of shame
And how many
nights will I hide
and blink under the
blackened skies
I've cursed out
so many times before
So how many times
will it take
To cover up the
past mistakes
And hide behind a
crying you face of shame
And how many
nights will I hide
and blink under the
blackened skies
I've cursed out
B C# F#(hold)
so many times
