[Verse]
A F#m D A F#m D
Some-times in my bed at night I curse the dark and I pray for the light
A F#m D A F#m D
And some-times, the light's no conso-lation
A F#m D A F#m D
Blinded by a memory afraid of what it might do to me
A F#m D A F#m D
And the tears and the sweat only mock my desper-ation
G A G E5
Don't you know me, I'm the boy next door, the one you find so easy to ignore, is that what I was fighting for?
[Chorus]
A G D A Asus4
Walking on a thin line, straight off the front line, labelled as freaks loose on the streets of the city
A G D A F#m D A F#m D
Walking on a thin line, angry all the time, take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me
[Verse]
A F#m D A F#m D
Taught me how to shoot to kill, a special-ist with a deadly skill
A F#m D A F#m D
A skill I needed to have to be a sur-vivor
A F#m D A F#m D
It's over now or so they say, well, some-times, it don't work out that way
A F#m D A F#m D
'Cause your never the same when you've been under fire
G A G E5
Don't you know me, I'm the boy next door, the one you find so easy to ignore, is that what I was fighting for?
[Chorus]
A G D A Asus4
Walking on a thin line, straight off the front line, labelled as freaks loose on the streets of the city
A G D N.C.
Walking on a thin line, angry all the time, take a look at my face, see what it's done to me
[Guitar Solo]
A F#m D (x8) G A G D
G A G E5
Don't you know me, I'm the boy next door, the one you find so easy to ignore, is that what I was fighting for?
[Verse]
A G D A Asus4
Walking on a thin line, straight off the front line, labelled as freaks loose on the streets of the city
A G D A Asus4 A Asus4 A
Walking on a thin line, angry all the time, take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me
A G D A Asus4 A Asus4 A
Walking on a thin line, walking on a thin line, walking on a thin line
[Outro Solo]
