   Em                                                                                           C

1.    How do you read a madman's mind, teach me the art of war,

Em                                                                 C

    for I shall bring more than you bargained for.

Em                                                                       C

    Give me an ultimatum that I could not dream of,

Em                                                      C

    spills of a crying nation upon my soul.

     Em    C       G       D       Em  Em   C   G  D       Em

    For I have not a mortal soul, that you already know,

      C    G   D Em       C       G   D     B7 - C - D

    look at my eyes, there’s no surpri………..se !

 

Em                 C                      Am                      D                        Em

    Ocean is black the devil's track, looking beyond beneath the sea,

                    C                   Am                          D                           Em

eye of the storm is here again, been there before you were ever born.

                      C                  Am                      D                 Em

Beyond the dark I feel the pain, it's hidden but I can’t explain,

                    C                  Am                        D                   Em   - C

a cross to bear, a heavy faith, my sorrow whispers time again.

 

    C                 D             Em     - C

+  I hear you calling my name,

      C                     D          Em    - C

    come to claim my life again.

        C                D               Em   - C

    Pray for me, I'm almost there,

            C                 D                Em

    the pain almost too much to bear.

 

   Em                                                                               C

2.    I try to find my way back home to feel the same again,

Em                                                         C

    the voice of nothing listened far too long.

Em                                                                    C

    Little by little eat away, I think I've lost my mind,

Em                                                          C

    too late to change now what I left behind.

      Em   C   G  D         Em  Em  C   G   D     Em

    Hear me, listen, my call,   I   am ready to fall !

       C       G    D   Em     C   D   Bm - C - D

    Lord, hear me now ! Let me g………….o !

    Ocean is black the devil's track, looking beyond beneath the sea,

                    C                   Am                          D                           Em

eye of the storm is here again, been there before you were ever born.

                      C                  Am                      D                 Em

Beyond the dark I feel the pain, it's hidden but I can’t explain,

a cross to bear, a heavy faith, my sorrow whispers time again.
