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
