[Verse 1]
[A5]Fair haired lady and the [C5]suicide [Eb5]king

And you [A5]sweat right [C5]out [Eb5]of your clothes

With a [A5]pair right under [Eb5]his nose

Carving out your given name

[Verse 4]
Drive a [A5]spade [Eb5]right through your heart
Or a [A5]chance just [Eb5]be ing alive
Is it [A5]murder, [Eb5]right handed, [A5]art
Is it [Eb5]real or all contrived
God help you

a [C5]little tight
He can't [A5]breathe, he [Eb5]gonna die

[Verse 8]
As you [A5]pound [Eb5]your fist in [A5]an ger
[Eb5]Words sharpe[A5]r than a blad[Eb5]e
But the [A5]green- eyed [Eb5]mon ster
