[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                             
Don't you know me, I'm the boy next door, the one you find so easy to ignore, is that what I
    E5
 was fighting for?

[Chorus]

A                       G                            D                                      
Walking on a thin line, straight off the front line, labelled as freaks loose on the streets
        A    Asus4
 of the city
A                       G                          D                                       A
Walking on a thin line, angry all the time, take a look at my face, see what it's doing to 
  F#m D  A  F#m  D
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                             
Don't you know me, I'm the boy next door, the one you find so easy to ignore, is that what I
    E5
 was fighting for?

[Chorus]

A                       G                            D                                      
Walking on a thin line, straight off the front line, labelled as freaks loose on the streets
        A    Asus4
 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
