[Verse 1]
BbmSome of us love to think of life as a game
GbOthers are born into royalty and can never behave
EbSome find a freedom locking Gbmen in aFsus4 cage, oh nBbmo
BbmSome priest insisted it's a test of the faith
Gb6And only Gbholy dGbmaj7evotion can kGb6eep the devils away
EbThere's only so much that a Gbman can Fsus4pray, oh nBbmo
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, my love Gb
Oh, my love F Bbm
Spare my blood Gb
Spare my blood F Bbm
[Verse 2]
BbmI saw the footprints in the white of the snow
Gb6I counted Gbthousands and I Gbmaj7was just a riderGb6 alone
Eb18 degrees and 80 Gbmiles from hoFsus4me, oh noBbm
BbmWe built a wall to keep the devils at bay
Gb6A distant Gbarmy who's Gbmaj7marching through the Gb6night and the day
EbI swore an oath and with my Gblife I will paFsus4y, oh no Bbm
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, my love Gb
Oh, my love F Bbm
Spare my blood Gb
[Chorus]
Nightshade, won't you Ftake me away?
And I can Bbmhold my breath for Dbanother day
But it was Gball, it was all,F for the throne
