The Lash Of The Whip

Em
  Everytime I close my eyes
    G
I'm scrambling to touch the sides
  Am                           Em
Escaping never ever crossed my mind

     Em
It's not that I would like to hide
    G
but I've left all my hope behind
     Am                                 Em
and against these walls I cannot help collide

[Chorus]

Em          C           Em
If I should fall, fall down
                C                           Em
You'll be there when and wherever I hit the ground
            C          Em
If I should fall, fall down
                B7                              Em    G Am Em
You'll be there making sure that I don't make a sound

[Verse]

    Em
And everytime I beat you down
  G
I know that you'll come back somehow
     Am                               Em
that helplessness you cannot live without

     Em
It's not just head and heart that's used
     G
It's every single sense abusing
Am                            Em
one and all attempting not to lose

[Chorus]

Em          C           Em
If I should fall, fall down
                C                           Em
You'll be there when and wherever I hit the ground
            C          Em
If I should fall, fall down
                B7
You'll be there making sure that I don't
E                               C
making sure that I don't make a sound

[Bridge]]
                     Em
As I fight tooth and nail
           G               D
against my fears I will prevail
                          Em              C
but I've got this whip of hate lashing my back
                   Em
up against me as I stand
     G                D
I am digging with one hand
                           B7              Em
but all I'm feeling is the whip lashing my back

C                     Em
  As I fight tooth and nail
           G               D
against my fears I will prevail
                          Em              C
but I've got this whip of hate lashing my back
                   Em
up against me as I stand
     G                D
I am digging with one hand
                           B7
but all I'm feeling is the whip

C                     Em
  As I fight tooth and nail
           G               D
against my fears I will prevail
                          Em              C
but I've got this whip of hate lashing my back
                   Em
up against me as I stand
     G                D
I am digging with one hand
                           B7              Em
but all I'm feeling is the whip lashing my back
