[Verse 1: Randy Blythe]
Am                         C
 My time is up but I don't care
         Am
I march alone
    C        Bb           Am
Alienated, I won't drift away
       C              Am
Born a loner, I don't bind
       Cm               Bb
I just need the pain to feel alive


[Pre-Chorus: Andrea Ferro]
Dm   Bb            Bbm
  I flirt with the dark
    Bb
I'm suffocating
Dm    Bb
  The turmoil inside
Bbm         C        Gm
  To set my demons straight


[Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, with Randy Blythe]
           Gm                Bb
'Cause I'm not afraid of the absence of light
       Dm
At the bottom of the Well, I find respite
         Gm                       Bb
And it doesn't even matter if I'm dead or alive
 Dm
Alone, I'm hosting the shadow


[Verse 2: Randy Blythe]
Am                           C
 This life is coming with a price
                  Am
No room for negotiation
        C             Bb       Am
A never-ending debt I cannot repay
         C
I need to hold on
             Bb Am
And don't be afraid
               C
To embrace the darkest side
   Bb       Dm
Of my bleak heart


[Pre-Chorus: Andrea Ferro]
   Bb       Bbm
I traded my soul
   Bb              Dm
Knowing I took the chance
      Bb    Bbm     Dm    Gm
Of losing myself in the exchange


[Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, with Randy Blythe]
           Gm                Bb
'Cause I'm not afraid of the absence of light
       Dm
At the bottom of the Well, I find respite
         Gm                       Bb
And it doesn't even matter if I'm dead or alive
 Dm
Alone, I'm hosting the shadow


[Bridge: Cristina Scabbia, with Andrea Ferro]
        Bb                 C
Let the rain fall hard and purge the road
          Dm
'Cause my life feels so uneasy, I've got nothing to lose
      Bb                       C
Oh, I know I'm finding comfort into the gloom
         Gm
Feeling bulletproof
                    Dm
Laughing with my shadow


[Refrain: Cristina Scabbia & Andrea Ferro]
Dm
Laughing with my shadow
Laughing with my shadow
Laughing with my shadow
Laughing with my shadow


[Spoken Word: Randy Blythe]
Gm                     Bb          Dm
 And it doesn't even matter if I'm dead or alive


[Chorus: Cristina Scabbia, with Randy Blythe]
           Gm                Bb
'Cause I'm not afraid of the absence of light
       Dm
At the bottom of the Well, I find respite
         Gm                       Bb
And it doesn't even matter if I'm dead or alive
 Dm
Alone, I'm hosting the shadow
           Gm                Bb
'Cause I'm not afraid of the absence of light
       Dm
At the bottom of the Well, I find respite
         Gm                       Bb
And it doesn't even matter if I'm dead or alive
 Dm
Alone, I'm hosting the shadow
