Capo at 7th Intro: x4 Sometimes in my bed at night, I curse the dark and a pray for light And sometimes, the light's no, consolation Blinded by a memory, afraid of what it might do to me And the tears and the sweat only mock my desperation Don't you know me I'm the boy next door? the one you find so easy to ignore (hold) Is that what I was, fighting for? Walking on a thin line, straight off the front line Labeled as freaks, loose on the streets of the city Walking on a thin line, straight off the front line x2 Take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me Taught me how to shoot to kill, a specialist with a deadly skill A skill I needed to have to be a survivor It's over now or so they say, well, sometimes, it don't work out that way Cause your never the same when you've been, under fire Don't you know me I'm the boy next door? the one you find so easy to ignore (hold) Is that what I was, fighting for? Walking on a thin line, straight off the front line Labeled as freaks, loose on the streets of the city Walking on a thin line, straight off the front line Take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me Solo: over verse Don't you know me I'm the boy next door? the one you find so easy to ignore (hold) Is that what I was, fighting for? Walking on a thin line, straight off the front line Labeled as freaks, loose on the streets of the city Walking on a thin line, straight off the front line Take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me (repeat Chorus, solo, fade)
