[Verse 1]
[D]1, 2, 3, [C#]4
He [F#m]was the king of the se[D]rpentine
Between [A]love and hate
He couldn't draw [C#]the line
[F#m]The monster living in the wa[D]ter mill
Said if [A]nothing else, I got some time to [C#]kill
[D]And all the boys were singing,
[G]and all the bells were ringing
[D]An d everyone was going [A]home
[D]An d all the children happy to
[G]be with mom and dad[D]dy
But I knew there was something
[F#m]wrong
Following the rules of [D]suicide
Sign[A]ing his letters till [C#]I die
[F#m]Don't ever say I didn't [D]try to fight
But the [A]last one to leave
better turn out [C#]the lights
[D]And all the boys were singing, [G]and all the bells were ringing,
[D]and everyone was goin'
[A]home.
[D]And all the children happy [G]to be with mom and daddy,
