AbBbmDbEb
In the shadows of my empire
AbBbmDbEb
In the dimness of my realm
AbBbmDbEb
I am rolling like the heavy thunder
FmEb
I am tolling like a bell
AbBbmDbEb
This is how I live outside the body
AbBbmDbEb
This is feeling without heart
AbBbmDbEb
And I am bound to the voice who whispers
Fm
Well this is who you are
EbDb
So with pencil and knife
CmDb
I carve and describe
EbDbEbAb
The truth and crimes of my secret life
AbBbmDbEb
In the shadows where I linger
AbBbmDbEb
In the kingdom I command
AbBbmDbEb
There is less than you imagine
FmEb
But more than I can stand
AbBbmDbEb
Saints and angels run for cover
AbBbmDbEb
And I am standing here alone
AbBbmDbEb
Like a newborn on a rolling freight train
Fm
And a stranger in our home
EbDb
So with pencil and knife
CmDb
The tools true and tried
EbDb
I carved and describe
EbAb
My secret life
CmDb
Nothing else is gonna satisfy me
CmDb
Like the way I disappear
CmDb
Send a messanger to come and find me
BbmDbEb
So I can get to you from here
EbDb
So with pencil and knife
CmDb
The tools true and tried
EbDb
I carved and describe
EbAb
My secret life
AbBbmDbEb
In the shadows of my empire
AbBbmDbEb
Down a path I can't define
AbBbmDbEb
Are the signs to direct you
AbBbmDbEb
To my secret life
AbBbmDbEb
My secret life
AbBbmDbEbAb
My secret life
