[F]There has to [G]be mor[E]e tha[D]n thi[A]s[E]
Is [A]there [F]no [Ab]reason [G]for me [C]to exist[Cm]
[F#]But for as a plaything o[G]f [F]miscreants,

[Verse 2]
[A]How [F]is [G]it so[C]
A [E]child can [Am]be bought for

And [Eb]con vey them f[C]ar from [Ab]this count[Bbsus4]ry of demons [G]made
[F]flesh

[Verse 6]
[A]My [F]las[G]t bedfellow[C] is cho[E]ked
[Eaug]to death[Am] on a dumm[Dm]y of p[G]uke
[A]I s[F]tol[G]e this hors[C]e,

[Eb]Turn our heads [C]north
With [Eb]dawn in our [C]lungs we reach the border
