[Verse 1]
[A]Today, up on this hill
I'm [Dm]counting [A]all the killers
They sway as they swarm
A look of gluttons in their eyes
They mutter as the body loses warmth
They pick your bones like
locks inside a tomb
And take great care to
not take care [C5]of[A]
[C][C5][C][A]

[G]So [F]I will settle for a
slaughterhouse [Bb]soaked [A]in blood and
[A5]betrayal[Bb][A]
It's always somebody else
[A5]some[Bb]body [A]else was me
[A5]You [Bb]want [A]the
real [G]smile?[F]
Or the one I used to practice
[Bb]not to feel [A5]like a failure?
