Verse
[G]
Happiness is just a word to me
[Eb] [F]
And it might have meant a thing or two
[C] [Csus4] [C] [Csus4]
If I had known the difference
[G]
Emptiness, a lonely parody
[Eb] [F]
And my life, another smokin' gun
[C] [Csus4] [C]
A sign of my indifference
Bridge
[Eb]
Always keepin' safe inside
[F]
Where no one ever had a chance
[G] [Gsus4] [G] [G7sus4]
To penetrate a break in
[Eb]
Let me tell you some have tried
[C] [Csus4] [C]
But I would slam the door so tight
[G] [Gsus4] [G7sus4]
That they could never get in
Verse
[G]
Kept my cool under lock and key
[Eb/G]
And I never shed a tear
[F] [C] [Csus4] [C] [Csus4]
Another sign of my condition
[G]
Fear of love or bitter vanity
[Eb/G]
That kept me on the run
[F] [C] [Csus4] [C]
The main events of my confession
Bridge
[Eb/G]
I kept a chain upon my door
[F/G]
That would shake the shame of Cain
[G] [Gsus4] [G] [G7sus4]
Into a blind submission
[Eb/G]
The burning ghost without a name
[C/G]
Was still calling all the same
[G] [Gsus4] [G7]
But I just wouldn't listen
Chorus
[G(add#11)]
The longer I'd stall
The further I'd crawl
[A7(add4)/G]
The further I'd crawl
The harder I'd fall
[F6/G] [C(add2)] [G] [Gsus4] [G] [G7sus4]
I was crawlin' into the fire
[G(add#11)]
The more that I saw
The further I'd fall
[A7(add4)/G]
The further I'd fall
The lower I'd crawl
[F6/G] [C(add2)] [G] [G7sus4]
I kept fallin' into the fire
Solo
[G(add#11)] [A7(add4)/G] [F6/G] [C(add2)] [G] [Gsus4]
Into the fire
[G(add#11)] [A7(add4)/G] [F6/G] [C(add2)] [G] [Gsus4] [G7]
Into the fire
Verse
[A7]
Suddenly it occurred to me
[F] [C]
The reason for the run and hide
[D] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus4]
Had totaled my existence
[A7]
Everything left on the other side
[F] [C]
Could never be much worse than this
[D] [Dsus4] [D]
But could I go the distance?
Bridge
[F]
I faced the door and all my shame
[G]
Tearin' off each piece of chain
[A] [Asus] [A] [A7sus4]
Until they all were broken
[F]
But no matter how I tried
[D]
The other side was locked so tight
[A] [Asus] [A7]
The door it wouldn't open
Chorus
[A(add#11)]
Gave it all that I got
And started to knock
[B7(add4)]
Then shouted for someone
To open the lock
[G6/9] [D(add2)] [A] [Asus4] [A] [A7sus4]
I just gotta get through the door
[A(add#11)]
And the more that I knocked
The hotter I got
[B7(add4)]
The hotter I got
The harder I knocked
[G6/9] [D(add2)] [A] [Asus4] [A] [A7sus4]
I just gotta break through the door
Outro
[A(add#11)]
Gotta knock a little harder
[B7(add4)/A]
Gotta knock a little harder
[Am7] [Bbmaj7/A]
Gotta knock a little harder
[A] [Asus4] [A]
Break through the door
