Helloween - When The Sinner

[Intro]
C#m
Now it’s time—to shake it all up to be free
C#m
Now it’s time—to make us some room to let us be
C#m
Oh, it feels so bad
C#m
Yes, it feels so bad
C#m
When everything good looks so bad
C#m
When everything right goes so wrong

[Verse 1]
C#m
I am up—to break it all down, what’s in my way
C#m
I won’t stop—until I am where I’m going to stay
C#m
No one holds me back
C#m
No, no one holds me back
C#m
Don’t wanna be what I’m not
C#m
But it’s gotta be myself who breaks my neck

[Pre-Chorus]
A
I look here and you look there
A
(Over my head)
A
I know it’s got to be somewhere
A
We look around and search around
A
(Look over my head; you won’t see no halo)
A
And walk around and hear around
E
We keep on looking till we know what for
A
If you don’t know it, I don’t know it
A
(It’s driving me mad)
A
We don’t know it, who will know it?
A
All of us don’t know what we should know
B
(I must hold it back inside)
B
Maybe one day, we’ll know
B
But anyway, we’ve got to make a stop

[Chorus]
E A
When the sinner searches sin, it’s all of us
E A
When we finally search inside, it’s under us
E
We keep on looking anyway
B
If we don’t find it, who must pay?
A
All I’ve ever done, I’ve done for you!

[Interlude]
C#m

[Verse 2]
C#m
In my mind—the battle goes on till I give up
C#m
Will we find—the key of life we once have dropped?
C#m
Do you really care?
C#m
Tell me you really care!
C#m
You may find Mr. Blame
C#m
But the guilt of life burns everywhere

[Pre-Chorus]
A
Give me light to see my inside
A
(Over my head)
A
Give me light to see my sin
A
I’d never do what I regret
A
(Look over my head; you won’t see no halo)
A
I’ve never done anything bad
E
You must be joking when you point at me!
A
Hey! Don’t you blame me! Don’t you touch me!
A
(It’s driving me mad)
A
Won’t you ever leave me be?
A
I wanna live! Don’t wanna think!
A
(I must hold it back inside)
A
Why should I give what I can drink?
B
Man! Life is short, so I take what I need!

[Chorus]
E A
When the sinner searches sin, it’s all of us
E A
When we finally search inside, it’s under us
E
We keep on looking anyway
B
If we don’t find it, who must pay?
A
All I’ve ever done, I’ve done for you!

[Bridge]
A
Pain!
A
I feel inside, it’s such a
E
Shame!
E
No one fights fair, but who’s to
B
Blame!
A B
Might be the game of life, but it ain’t over
E
Now!
E
I walk my way firm
A
Anyhow!
A
My conscience speaks and there are
B
Doubts!
A B
But nothing’s sure in life, and it ain’t over
E
Now!
