(Play Solo riff)

2nd Verse (Play Main Riff)
then darkness and disorder slapped him sharply in the face, yeah. 
it hit him like a friend, struck something deep within. 
he couldn't break the chain of slow decay that seemed to drag him 
just like a fatal tie toward the other side. 

2nd Chorus (Play Chorus Progression)
and billy was a lunatic, just barking at the moon, 
and his brain was totally wasted. 
he then exchanged his friends for a needle and a spoon 
and he threw his future away. 

Bridge:

(Play Chorus Progression)
so where is the justice when no one is at fault 
and a human life is tragically wasted? 
how fragile is the flame that burns within us all 
to light each passing day?
