Am              Em       D5
Put the bullet through his head
Am                  Em       D5
You know he would rather be dead
Am                     Em     D5
Kill the shell that's left behind
 Am                       Em     D5
You know there's nothing left inside

Am                   Em    D5
Close your eyes and let it fly
Am                      Em     D5
You're killing what's already died
Am                      Em       D5
But his eyes are still the same blue
Am                       Em    D5
The same eyes that once guided you


[Chorus 1]

Am             F          Em               D5                 Am
   Shattered soul. Gaping hole.  Bury the life the sickness stole.
          F              Em              D5              Am
Deathly sound. Hit the ground. Know that time is running out.
          F                Em              D5               Am
Hear you scream, Haunt my dreams. This was all you asked of me.
       F               Em               D5               Am
Let it fly. Watch you die. The life has faded from your eyes.
D5
Faded from your eyes.


[Verse 2]

Am                 Em   D5
Silence never felt so loud
Am                Em      D5
Teardrops crash onto the ground
Am                     Em      D5
Whispers have morphed into shrieks
Am                     Em      D5
And each step forward has grown weak

Am                  Em    D5
I hear you begging for release
Am              Em     D5
I hear it every time I sleep
Am                   Em    D5
Crazed desperation in your eyes
Am                     Em    D5
To cease the pain, to let it die


[Chorus 2]

Am             F         Em                D5                 Am
   Shattered soul. Gaping hole.  Bury the life the sickness stole.
          F              Em              D5              Am
Deathly sound. Hit the ground. Know that time is running out.
          F                Em              D5               Am
Hear you scream, Haunt my dreams. This was all you asked of me.
       F               Em               D5               Am
Let it fly. Watch you die. The life has faded from your eyes.


{Bridge]

Am                      Em
Kill me, kill me. Let me die.
Am                         Em
You want peace. You want to die.
Am                      D5
Kill me, kill me. Kill the shell.
Am                      D5
You want release from this black hell.


[Chorus 3]

Am             F          Em
   Shattered soul. Gaping hole.

Am             F         Em                D5                 Am
   Shattered soul. Gaping hole.  Bury the life the sickness stole.
          F              Em              D5              Am
Deathly sound. Hit the ground. Know that time is running out.
          F                Em              D5               Am
Hear you scream, Haunt my dreams. This was all you asked of me.
       F               Em               D5               Am
Let it fly. Watch you die. The life has faded from your eyes.
