Lifehouse - Near Life Experience E  - 022100 A  - x02220 (Last strum of just about every ’A’ is played open - 000000) F# - 244x22 C# - x46600 B  - x24400 Intro - If I showed my hand shaking like a leaf you might not understand but I bet you’d believe there’s spiders inside crawling around the cobwebs in my mind that I try to drown out.             You said I look like a ghost man I almost was. You said I need to let go quit chasing that buzz that picture in time frozen like ice cycles keep repeating beating me down to size.              Well maybe I’m blind just throwing darts in the dark. I didn’t get what I want I got what I need. Man it hurts like hell down here on my knees. Is this where I end or is this where we begin?              The night is my friend I blend in with the best: The vampires the crooks the felons and the rest. Now we can pretend that we really care less. and act like we love what we really detest. Well maybe I’m blind just throwing darts in the dark. I didn’t get what I want I got what I need. Man it hurts like hell down here on my knees. Is this where I end or is this where we begin? Make this go away I’m begging please-- there’s little life left here for me to bleed. Is this where I end or is this where we begin? I’m looking up but I’m feeling down since cutting these corners was cutting me down to size.     Am I losing control or losing my mind? I know for a fact I’m losing my last place to hide.           Well maybe I’m blind just throwing darts in the dark. I didn’t get what I want I got what I need. Man it hurts like hell down here on my knees. Is this where I end or is this where we begin? My pulse is racing I can’t catch my breath. This near-life experience scared me to death. Is this where I end or is this where we begin?               Or is this where we begin?
