[Verse]
          E7     
Guilty as charged
                     E    
But damn it it ain't right
                     E             
There's someone else controlling me
         E      
Death in the air
E7                            
Strapped in the electric chair
                           E  F#
This can't be happening to me ■ 
         F#            
Who made you God to say
F#                          
I'll take your life from you
C#       B      A      
■  Flash before my eyes
              B7 F#7
Now it's time to die


[Chorus]
C#7               A    
■   Burning in my brain
               F#7    E F#7
I can feel the flames ■ ■  


[Verse]
E7                  
■  Wait for the sign
                       E7   
To flick the switch of death
                   E7        
It's the beginning of the end
               E7  
Sweat chilling cold
                 E7    
As I watch death unfold
                             F#7
Consciousness my only friend ■  


[Chorus]
   F#7                   
My fingers grip with fear
F#                  
What am I doing here
C#       B      Am A   
■  Flash before my eyes
C#7           B  B7  F#7
Now it's time to die ■  
C#7         B7    A    
■   Burning in my brain
           B7  E7    
I can feel the flames

              Am     
Oh please God help me
A#                            Am   F
They're trying to take it all away ■

I don't want to  die

[Chorus]
E7              
Time moving slow
    E7                     
The minutes seem like hours
    E7                      
The final curtain call I see
   E7               
Im through with this
     E7              
Just get it over with
                            E 
If this is true just let it be
F#                        
Wakened by a horrid scream
      F#                         
Freed from this frightening dream
C#7             A   
Flash before my eyes
B                    F#7 F#
Now it's time to die ■   ■ 
C#7           A    
Burning in my brain
      B    A   F#7   
I can feel the flames
