---------------------
E5              F5
  Suspiscion is your name
E5             G5
  Your honesty to blame
E5            F5
  Put dignity to shame
E5         G5 F#5 F5 E5            F5
  Dishonour            Witchhunt modern day
E5            G5
  Determining decay
E5               F5
  The blatent disarray
E5         G5 F#5 F5 F#5                 G5
  Disfigure             The public eye's disgrace
F#5            A5
   Defying common place
F#5           G5
   Unending paper chase
F#5        A5 G#5 G5 F#5    G5
   Unending             Deafening
F#5     A5
   Painstaking
F#5    G5
   Reckoning
F#5          A5 G#5 G5   E5
   This vertigo it  doth bring

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
     F5  E5
Shortest straw
     F5  E5   G5  A#5
Challenge  liberty
E5     F5 E5
Downed by law
     F5 E5  A#5 G5
Live in   infamy
    F5  E5
Rub you raw
     F5  E5   G5         A#5

[Verse 2]
---------------------
E5          F5
  The accusations fly
E5          G5
  Discrimination why
E5                F5
  Your inner self to die
E5         G5 F#5 F5 E5                  F5
  Intruding            Doubt sunk itself in you
E5                 G5
  Its teeth and talons through
E5                 F5
  Your lying catch twenty two
E5        G5 F#5 F5 F#5             G5
  Deluding             A mass hysteria
F#5           A5
   A megalomania
F#5            G5
   Reveal dementia
F#5      A5 G#5 G5 F#5  G5
   Reveal             Secretly
F#5   A5
   Silently
F#5    G5
   Certainly
F#5        A5 G#5 G5  E5
   In vertigo you wil be
F5 | E5 | F5 | B5

[Verse 3]
---------------------
E5                 F5
  Behind you hands are tied
E5              G5
  Your being, ostracized
E5                 F5
  Your hell is multiplied
E5        G5 F#5 F5 E5            F5

E5              G5
  Oppressive damage done
E5                 F5
  Your many turned to none
E5          G5 F#5 F5 F#5                     G5
  To nothing             You're reaching your nadir
F#5                 A5
   Your will has disappeared
F#5               G5
   The lie is crystal clear
F#5         A5 G#5 G5 F#5     G5
   Defending             Channels read
F#5    A5
   One word said
F#5     G5
   Blacklisted
F#5          A5 G#5  G5  E5
   With vertigo make you dead
F5 | E5 | F5 | B5
