Ab     Bbm     Db    Eb 
In the shadows of my empire 
Ab     Bbm     Db    Eb 
In the dimness of my realm 
Ab   Bbm              Db    Eb 
I am rolling like the heavy thunder 
     Fm                  Eb 
I am tolling like a bell 
Ab      Bbm           Db       Eb 
This is how I live outside the body 
Ab      Bbm        Db   Eb 
This is feeling without heart 
Ab       Bbm          Db        Eb 
And I am bound to the voice who whispers 
     Fm                  
Well this is who you are 
        Eb         Db 
So with pencil and knife 
  Cm          Db 
I carve and describe 
    Eb        Db     Eb           Ab 
The truth and crimes of my secret life 
Ab      Bbm     Db      Eb 
In the shadows where I linger 
Ab     Bbm     Db   Eb 
In the kingdom I command 
Ab       Bbm       Db     Eb 
There is less than you imagine 
    Fm                     Eb 
But more than I can stand 
Ab         Bbm    Db      Eb 
Saints and angels run for cover 
Ab        Bbm      Db    Eb 
And I  am standing here alone 
Ab     Bbm          Db      Eb 
Like a newborn on a rolling freight train 
       Fm                     
And a stranger in our home 
        Eb         Db 
So with pencil and knife 
    Cm             Db 
The tools true and tried 
Eb            Db 
I carved and describe 
Eb        Ab 
My secret life 
Cm                     Db 
Nothing else is gonna satisfy me 
Cm              Db 
Like the way I disappear 
Cm                  Db 
Send a messanger to come and find me 
Bbm             Db       Eb  
So I can get to you from here 
        Eb         Db 
So with pencil and knife 
    Cm             Db 
The tools true and tried 
Eb            Db 
I carved and describe 
Eb        Ab 
My secret life 
Ab      Bbm    Db     Eb 
In the shadows of my empire 
Ab     Bbm    Db     Eb 
Down a path I can't define 
Ab      Bbm      Db     Eb 
Are the signs to direct you 
             Ab  Bbm Db Eb 
To my secret life 
          Ab  Bbm Db Eb 
My secret life 
          Ab  Bbm Db Eb Ab 
My secret life
