[Intro]
| D/A A | E A | E/A A | D E |
| D/A A | E A | E/A A | D E |
[Verse]
In D/Adeath, you face Alife with a Echild and a Awife
Who sleep-E/Awalks through your Adreams into Dwalls E
You're a D/Asoldier of Amercy, you're Ecold and you Acurse
"He who E/Acannot be Atrusted must Dfall." E
[Chorus]
D/ALoneliAness, Etenderness,
DHigh socieAty, notoEriety
You Dfight for the A/C#throne and you E/Btravel aAlone
UnDknown as you slowly Esink
| A Asus4 | A Asus4 |
And there's no time to think
[Interlude]
| D/A A | E A | E/A A | D E |
[Verse]
In the D/AFederal ACity you been Eblown and shown Apity
In E/Asecret, for Apieces of Dchange E
The D/Aempress atAtracts you but opEpression disAtracts you
And it E/Amakes you feel Aviolent and DstrangeE
[Chorus]
D/AMemoAry, Eecstasy
D/ATyraAnny, hyEpocrisy
BetrDayed by a kissA/C# on a cool nighE/Bt of bliAss
InD the valley of the mEissing link
| A Asus4 | A Asus4 |
And you have no time to think
[Interlude]
| D/A A | E A | E/A A | D E |
[Verse]
D/AJudges will Ahaunt you, the country Epriestess will Awant you
E/AHer worst is Abetter than Dbest E
I've D/Aseen all these Adecoys through a Eset of deep turAquoise eyes
And I Afeel so Ddepressed E
[Chorus]
D/AChina Adoll, Ealcohol
DuD/AalitAy, morEtality
DMercury A/C#rules you and E/Bdestiny Afools you
Like the Dplague, with a dangerous Ewink
| A Asus4 | A Asus4 |
And there's no time to think
[Interlude]
| D/A A | E A | E/A A | D E |
[Verse]
Your D/Aconscience beAtrayed you when some Etyrant wayAlaid you
Where the E/Alion lies Adown with the Dlamb E
I'd have D/Apaid off the Atraitor and Ekilled him much Alater
But Ethat's just the Away that I Dam E
[Chorus]
D/AParaAdise, Esacrifice
MorD/AtaliAty, reEality
But the Dmagician is A/C#quicker and his E/Bgame is much Athicker
Than Dblood and blacker than Eink
| A Asus4 | A Asus4 |
And there's no time to think
[Interlude]
| D/A A | E A | E A | D E |
[Verse]
D/AAnger and Ajealousy's Eall that he sAells us
He's conEtent when you're Aunder his Dthumb E
D/AMadmen opApose him, but Eyour kindness Athrows him
To surEvive it you Aplay deaf and Ddumb E
[Chorus]
D/AEquaAlity, Eliberty
HuD/AmiliAty, simEplicity
You Dglance through the A/C#mirror and there's E/Beyes staring Aclear
At the Dback of your head as you Edrink
| A Asus4 | A Asus4 |
And there's no time to think
[Interlude]
| D/A A | E A | E A | D E |
[Verse]
D/AWarlords of Asorrow and Equeens of toAmorrow
Will Eoffer their Aheads for a Dprayer E
You can't D/Afind no salAvation, you have Eno expecAtations
AnyEtime, anyAplace, anyDwhere E
[Chorus]
D/AMercuAry, Egravity
NoD/AbiliAty, hEumility
You Dknow you can't A/C#keep her and the E/Bwater gets Adeeper
That is Dleading you onto the Ebrink
| A Asus4 | A Asus4 |
But there's no time to think
[Interlude]
| D/A A | E A | E A | D E |
[Verse]
You've D/Amurdered your Avanity, Eburied your Asanity
For Epleasure you Amust now reDsist E
D/ALovers oAbey you but Ethey cannot Asway you
They're Enot even Asure you eDxist E
[Chorus]
D/ASociaAlism, Ehypnotism
D/APatrioAtism, maEterialism
DFools making A/C#laws for the E/Bbreaking of Ajaws
And the Dsound of the keys as they Eclink
| A Asus4 | A Asus4 |
But there's no time to think
[Interlude]
| D/A A | E A | E/A A | D E |
[Verse]
The D/Abridge that you Atravel on Egoes to the ABabylon Egirl
With the Arose in her Dhair E
StarlD/Aight in the AEast and you're Efinally reAleased
You're Estranded but with Anothing to Dshare E
[Chorus]
D/ALoyalAty, Eunity
D/AEpitAome, riEgidity
You turn aDround for one A/C#real last gE/Blimpse of CaAmille
'Neath the Dmoon shinin' bloody and Epink
| A Asus4 | A Asus4 |
And there's no time to think
[Interlude]
| D/A A | E A | E A | D E |
[Verse]
D/ABullets can Aharm you and Edeath can disAarm you
But Eno, you will Anot be deDceived E
D/AStripped of all Avirtue as you Ecrawl through the Adirt
You can Egive but you Acannot reDceive E
[Chorus]
No D/Atime to Achoose
When the Etruth must die
No D/Atime to Alose
Or Esay goodbye
No Dtime to preA/C#pare for the E/Bvictim that's Athere
No Dtime to suffer or Eblink
| A Asus4 | A Asus4 |
And no time to think
