Well, I’ve walked into your dagger for the last time
           N.C.                       N.C.
It’s like trying to start a fire with matches in the snow
      N.C.                             N.C.
Where you can’t seem to hold me, can’t seem to let me go
     N.C.                       N.C.
So I can’t find surrender and I can’t keep control
