[Verse]
    Em                  G    Am               C             Em
You prayed to have your name scattered on the lips of the young
        G               Am         C             Em
Now you claim that it's you on the tips of their tongue
              G                 Am             C
And if you're proud of what you had to kill to get your thrill
Em             G                 Am             C            B7
Well, I bet it stings to give up everything and realize that they don't want you


[Chorus]
       Em                   G
It's a lonely road where the forgotten go
          Am                      Em
Where your  misery finds its company
       Em                  G
It's a long way down to the sacred ground
         Am                     B7 Em
Where the  reaper's playing for keeps


[Post-Chorus]
     G        Am       C        Em
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
     G        Am       C        Em
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh


[Verse]
           G        Am                 C             Em
The hollow sound is ringing where your heart used to beat
         G               Am              C               Em
Have you found that your admiration will never set you free?
         G                     Am               C              Em
Get your lies prepared, you're next in line for judgement day now
           G                   Am                  C      B7
Aren't you praying, aren't you begging that you're anyone else?


[Chorus]
       Em                   G
It's a lonely road where the forgotten go
          Am                      Em
Where your  misery finds its company
       Em                  G
It's a long way down to the sacred ground
         Am                     B7 Em
Where the  reaper's playing for keeps


[Post-Chorus]
     G        Am       C        Em
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
     G        Am       C        Em
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
     G        Am       C        Em
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
     G        Am       C        
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh


[Bridge]
       Em               G
Well I bet you're sorry now
         Am              C
Well you did this to yourself
       Em               G
Well I bet you're sorry now
     Am               B7
Well aren't you sorry now


[Chorus]
       Em                   G
It's a lonely road where the forgotten go
          Am                      Em
Where your  misery finds its company
       Em                  G
It's a long way down to the sacred ground
         Am                     B7
Where the  reaper's playing for keeps


[Chorus]
       Em                   G
It's a lonely road where the forgotten go
          Am                      Em
Where your  misery finds its company
       Em                  G
It's a long way down to the sacred ground
         Am                     B7 Em
Where the  reaper's playing for keeps


[Outro]
     G        Am       C        Em
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
     G        Am       C        Em
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
     G        Am       C        Em
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
     G        Am       C        Em
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
