VERSE 1
Em Em7(♭5) Cmaj7/F
The words that you say to change the truth I’m afraid to name
Em Em7(♭5) Cmaj7/F
You’ve let fear guide you in on every turn
Em Em7(♭5) Cmaj7/F
Until there is nowhere to hide
Em Em7(♭5) Cmaj7/F
I stand silently as you sacrifice your pawns
CHORUS
G D Am
The power you give it, Is the power it holds
Am
You decide to live or hide
G D Am
The power you give it, Is the power it holds
Am Em
You decide to live…or hide
VERSE 2
Em Em7(♭5) Cmaj7/F
The string in your hand, to begin it or to end
Em Em7(♭5) Cmaj7/F
I know it seems the darkness of the shadow conceals you
Em Em7(♭5) Cmaj7/F
What your life might be if only this affliction had never been
Em Em7(♭5) Cmaj7/F
You are holding the strings to your own puppet show
BRIDGE
Dm Am
Saying it has to be this way,
Dm G
you are just a victim in this game
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Em Em7(♭5) Cmaj7/F
And it is in no small thing, declaring war on an enemy
Em Em7(♭5) Cmaj7/F
That has come to dictate every word, every move you make
Em Em7(♭5) Cmaj7/F
Their self-righteous anger is no shield.
Em Em7(♭5) Cmaj7/F
But each stand you take will be one more victory made
CHORUS
