Capo on 1st fret
[INTRO]
G D Bm A
G D Bm A
[VERSE 1]
G D
As the night-time leads into the day
Bm A
And tomorrow spills across the sky
G D
While the sun’s a harsh reminder why
Bm A
We are feeling barely human
[PRE-CHORUS]
G D
We don’t know what’s good for us
Bm A
Cause if we did, we might not do it
G D
Who knows where our limits lie?
Bm A
We won’t discover ‘til we push it
[CHORUS]
D D
I should just walk away, walk away
A
But it grips me, it grips me
D
But I should call it a day
D
And make my way
A
Oh, it grips me
G
Cause the devil’s got my arms
Bm
And it pulls me back into the dark
D
But I should just walk away
D A
Walk away, oh it grips me
A
Cause the devil’s got my arms
[VERSE 2]
G D
We got drunk on this unholy wine
Bm A
To deliver us from our old minds
G D
A promise of a better time
Bm A
'Til we’re feeling barely human
[PRE-CHORUS]
G D
We don’t know what’s good for us
Bm A
Cause if we did, we might not do it
G D
Who knows where our limits lie?
Bm A
We won’t discover ‘til we push it
[CHORUS]
D D
I should just walk away, walk away
A
But it grips me, it grips me
D
But I should call it a day
D
And make my way
A
Oh, it grips me
G
Cause the devil’s got my arms
Bm
And it pulls me back into the dark
D D
But I should just walk away, away
A
Oh, it grips me
[BRIDGE]
G D
I would rather forget
Bm A
And wash my memory clean
G D
Oh, I would rather forget
Bm A
And wash my memory clean
G D
I would rather forget (I would rather forget)
Bm A
And wash my memory clean (Wash my memory clean)
G D
I would rather forget (I would rather forget)
Bm A
And wash my memory clean (Wash my memory clean)
[CHORUS]
D D
I should just walk away, walk away
A
But it grips me, it grips me
D
But I should call it a day
D
And make my way
A
Oh, it grips me
G
Cause the devil’s got my arms
Bm
And it pulls me back into the dark
D D
But I should just walk away, away
A
It grips me
D D A
(It grips me, it grips me)
D D A
Woah oh (It grips me, it grips me)
G
Cause the devil’s got my arms
Bm
And it pulls me back into the dark
D D
But I should just walk away, away
A
It grips me
