(Key of C# minor. 4/4 time.)
Intro B5 B5 B5 B5Verse 1:
B5 B5Patience runs out on the junkie,
B5 B5The dark side hires another soul.
- Bsus2 Bm G/B E7/B
Did he steal his fate or earn it?
Esus4 E+5 E5 E6 Was he force-fed, did he learn it?
C C B5 B5Whatever happened to his precious self-control?
(Same chords as verse 1)
Like him, I'm tired of try'n' to heal
This tom-cat heart with which I'm blessed. Is destruction loving's twin?
Must I choose to lose or win?
C C B5 E5 E5Maybe when my turn comes I will have guessed.
Verse 2:
- A9 A/G#
These are the horns of the dilemma,
A A/G# What truth this proof against all lies?
B/A Asus2 Am F/AWhen sacred fails before profane,
D Csus2 | A5 Go |
The wisest man is deemed insane.
C5 C E5 E5Even the purest of romantics compromise.
Chorus- C#m C#m
What fixation feeds this fever
C#m C#m As the full moon pales and climbs?
C#m F#m C#m AAm I living truth or rank deceiver?
- C#m F#m C#m A
Am I the victim or the crime,
C#m F#m C#m A Am I the victim or the crime,
C#m F#m C#mAm I the victim or the crime, or the crime?
(Same chords as verse 2)
And so I wrestle with the angel
To see who'll reap the seeds I sow.
Am I the driver or the driven?
Will I be damned to be forgiven?
Is there anybody here but me who needs to know
(Chorus chords)
What it is that feeds this fever
As the full moon pales and climbs?
Am I living truth or rank deceiver?
Am I the victim or the crime,
Am I the victim or the crime,
Am I the victim or the crime, or the crime?
B5Repeat and fade
