[Intro]
Am Am Amadd#5 Am C/G C/G G Em F F
[Verse 1]
Am Amadd#5 Am C/G G Em F
You hold it in your hands, let it flow,
Am Amadd#5 Am C/G G Em F
this cruelty, of youth as you fall again alone
Am G Em – F C
and the compromise of truth
[Chorus 1]
F Am G F
It’s in the eyes, I can tell you will always be danger
Am G
We had it tonight, why do you leave it open?
Am Am Amadd#5 Am C/G C/G G Em F F
[Verse 2]
Am Amadd#5 Am C/G G Em F
and the stakes, remain too high, from the silent mind
Am Amadd#5 Am C/G G Em F
and the shake, the lonely inch, that course down my spine
Am G F
to leave the love divine
Am G F C
don’t leave the love divine
F C
it’s a water tight excuse
[Chorus 2]
F Am G F
It’s in the eyes, I can tell you will always be danger
Am G F
We had it tonight, why do you always seek absolution?
Am G F F
It’s in the eyes, I can tell you will always be danger
[Verse 3]
Am Amadd#5 Am C/G G F
How does the earth around your feet, just slip away?
Am Amadd#5 Am C/G G Em F
And abandon will greet you in the night, with snake eyes,
Am G F C
the most precious time
[Chorus 2]
F Am G F
It’s in the eyes, I can tell you will always be danger
Am G F
We had it tonight, why do you always seek absolution?
Am G F F
It’s in the eyes, I can tell you will always be danger
