D F#         G
I'm serving time
           Bm      A      D F#
All for a crime I did commit
               G
You want the truth?
             Bm    A     D F#
You know I'd do it all again
          G
Left for dead
          Bm   A       G A G A G A
Heaven is only in my head!

I heard a voice
Calling from down inside a well
"See that silver shine?"
She said to come claim what was mine
So down I fell
Down into the water black
My prison cell
Only the moon was shining back! (Was shining back)

Chorus:
F#         Bm        F#              Bm
If I seem lost, well I weighted the cost
      G        A
And chose my crime
          D
Now it's mine all mine!

I heard the voice
Calling from just outside the well
She said "You fool
Now that you know your end is near;
You always fall
For what you desire or what you fear!"
(What you fear)

Resurrected, living in a lighthouse,
If you leave, them ships are going to wreck
Resurrected, living in a lighthouse,
The lions and the lambs ain’t sleeping yet
Resurrected, living in a lighthouse,
Can you see the funny side?
The ships are going to wreck
Resurrected, living in a lighthouse,
The lions and the lambs ain't sleeping yet
The lions and the lambs ain’t sleeping yet
The lions and the lambs ain’t sleeping yet

(Sleeping yet)
(Sleeping yet)
