D
It wasn't meant to be like this
           A       E
A life for someone else
                      D
There's a road to the righteous
             F#m          E
That doesn't lead through hell
                       D
There's a drop on your eyelid
           A        E
That stays just for him
                         D
There's a scream in your silence
                 F#m    E
That doesn't let anyone in


[Pre-Chorus]
        D
Now you don't understand why you stayed
       A                  E
As you wake in the coffin he made you
         D
You're a stone that's been thrown in the lake
           F#m         E
Now you're sinking, it sinks in


[Chorus]
D
 In the top of the tower
              A
 The devil he waits
           E
 The devil he waits for you
D
 In the darkest of hours
     F#m    E
 We pray, pray for you
D
 I know you've been locked up there
A              E
 With no hope anywhere
D
 In the top of the tower
              F#m
 The devil he waits
           E
 The devil he waits for you


[Verse 2]
                   Bm
Now you lay in the ashes
       A         E
Of the house you built
                     Bm
Out of old books and matches
        A         E
But you lay there still
                     Bm
In the time of black magic
            A      E
And they're out to kill
                        Bm
Here's my heart you can have it
        A      E
And you always will


[Pre-Chorus]
        D
Now you don't understand why you stayed
       A                  E
As you wake in the coffin he made you
         D
You're a stone that's been thrown in the lake
           F#m         E
Now you're sinking, it sinks in


[Chorus]
D
 In the top of the tower
              A
 The devil he waits
           E
 The devil he waits for you
D
 In the darkest of hours
     F#m    E
 We pray, pray for you
D
 I know you've been locked up there
A              E
 With no hope anywhere
D
 In the top of the tower
              F#m
 The devil he waits
           E
 The devil he waits for you

                      D
It wasn't meant to be like this

A life for someone else
                      D
There's a road to the righteous

That doesn't lead through hell

Oh oh oh

 The devil he waits
           E
 The devil he waits for you
D
 In the darkest of hours
     F#m    E
 We pray, pray for you
D
 I know you've been locked up there
A              E
 With no hope anywhere
D
 In the top of the tower
              F#m
 The devil he waits
           E
 The devil he waits for you
