  C
1. I don´t believe what you´re saying
  F                  C
   I don´t believe a word.
** C         Em     Am             G
   You never did anything that was true
       F                       G
   and hate will be your final work.

2. I wouldn´t dance at your party
       F                 C
   no, I wouldn´t risk a dance.
***            C                      F
   And for the rest of my time I will keep it in mind
          G                          G
   I will look at your life and will find:
               F            Dm    G                             C
   When you´re down on your knees that´s when you´re closest to heaven.

3. I don´t believe when you´re smiling
   I don´t believe in your mask
   You hardly say anything you don´t use
   all your life is a lie at its best.

   (same like "2)
4. Your love means never another
   Is there anything left that is true?
   You will end all alone with no peace of your own
   ´cause the god of love you´ve never known.
   When you´re down on your knees that´s when you´re closest to heaven.


           F
5. I guess you´ll never get it
          G                    Am                          Am
   you´ll never regret all the broken hearts you´ve left behind.
              F                           F                    G     G
   If there´s one thing that you´ll never find - it´s peace of mind.

   C                            F

6. There´s always one on a lonely street - walking his way to the sun
   Em                                F
   There´s always one that takes the whole worlds greed
   G                        C
   all on his back and it´s done.
       F                      G
   And ever since the world´s turning
                    Am                       Am
   There´s always a fool that is leading the blind
              F                           F                    G     G
   If there´s one thing that you´ll never find - it´s peace of mind.

7. Your thoughts are so low it´s a shame
   That´s why for you everyone else is low.
   People see life through the glass of their hearts
   so the fruits of your doings do show.


   (same like "2)
8. In this world it all could mean maybe
   but on the other side you´ll hear it loud
   I know time clears the clouds, one day you won´t walk so proud
   It will all be revealed there´s no doubt.
   When you´re down on your knees that´s when you´re closest to heaven.
   When you´re down on your knees that´s when you´re closest to heaven.
   When you´re down on your knees that´s when you´re closest to heaven.**
