Holding on in a new direction, she's gonna try it tonight
Abm             E               Dbm             F#
The closer I get to feeling, the further that I'm feeling from alright

The moon is shining now and shadows are what's left of all the noise
Abm       E                 Dbm F#

Make no mistake that these villains always get the girl
