I walk in the shadow I've cast.

    Em
I'm holding the line like a man out of time         Acoustic 2
  D                       Em
I need to get back to the light
 
The blood in these veins holds a lifetime of pain
  D                           Em                    Acoustic 2
I don't know which battles to fight.                  AD LIB
