[INTRO]

[G] - [A7] - [C] - [C]

[VERSE 1]

[G] [A7]
Happiness is just a word to me,
And it m[C]ight have meant a thing or t[F]wo
[G]
if I had known the difference.

[G]Emptiness, a lonely [A7]parody,
[C] [F]
And my life, another smokin' gun
[G] [A7]
A sign of my indifference.

Always keepin' safe inside
Where [C]no one ever had a chan[F]ce
To penetrate a br[G]eak in. [A7]

Let me tell you some have tried,
but I s[C]lam the door so t[F]ight
That they could never[G] get in.

[VERSE 2]

[G]Kept my cool under [A7]lock and key
And I [C]never shed a tear
An[F]other sign of my [G]condition.

[G]Fear of love or bitter [A7]vanity
That [C]kept on the run
The [F]main of events at my co[G]nfession. [A7]

I kept a chain upon my door
That would [C]shake the shame of Ca[F]in
into a blind su[G]bmission. [A7]

The burning ghost without a name
Was still [C]calling all the sa[F]me
But I just wouldn't[G] listen.

[CHORUS 1]

[G]The longer I'd stall

The further I'd crawl
[A]The further I'd crawl

The harder I'd fall
[C] [F] [G]
I was crawlin' into the fire

[G]The more that I saw

The further I'd fall
[A]The further I'd fall

The lower I'd crawl
[C] [F] [G]
I kept fallin' into the fire

[BRIDGE]

[G] - [G] - [A] - [A] - [C] - [F] - [G] - [G]

[VERSE 3]

[A]Suddenly it occ[B]urred to me
The [D]reason for the run and [G]hide
Had totaled my [A]existance

Everything left on t[B]he other side
Could [D]never be much worse that t[G]his
But could I go the [A]distance

[B7]I faced the door and all my shame
Tearin' [D]off each piece of cha[G]in
Until they we[A]re broken

[B7]But no matter how I tried
The other [D]side was locked so [G]tight
The door it wouldn't[A] open

[CHORUS 2]

Gave it all that I got

And started to knock
Shou[B]ted for someone

To open the lock
I just [D]gotta[G] get through the [A]door

And the more that I knocked

The hotter I got
The h[B]otter I got

The harder I'd knock
I just [D]gotta[G] break through the [A]door

Gotta knock a little h[A]arder
Gotta knock a little h[B]arder
Gotta knock a little h[D]arder
Break through the d[A]oor

Gotta knock a little h[A]arder
Gotta knock a little h[B]arder
Gotta knock a little h[D]arder
Break through the d[A]oor

Gotta knock a little h[A]arder
Gotta knock a little h[B]arder
Gotta knock a little h[D]arder
Break through the d[A]oor

Gotta knock a little h[A]arder
Gotta knock a little h[B]arder
Gotta knock a little h[D]arder
Break through the d[A]oor

Gotta knock a little h[A]arder
Gotta knock a little h[B]arder
Gotta knock a little h[D]arder
Break through the d[A]oor

Gotta knock a little h[A]arder
Gotta knock a little h[B]arder
[D] ver-2
Gotta knock a little harder
[A] ver-2
Break down the door
