[E]
[A] [B]
[C#m] There's a house where prisoners worship [A] Where honest [B] men confess
I [C#m] admit I was a thief [A] To the darkness [B] in my chest
[E] I admit it to the thrill Of the killing that I've [E] done
It
[E] was funny, man, it was tragic The [A] kind of [B] person [E] I'd become
I
[A] would help you up a ladder To [B] watch you dangle [E] some metal
[A] And I would shine a light upon you To [F#m] make you [B] see a ray of hope
[E] I'd scratch and kick the love you give Watch you bleed and laugh down hurt
[E] But [G#m] I'd change my mind and kiss you And [A] say it all [B] without [E] one word
[A] [E]
[A] [B] [C#m] Hard to become a callous [A] Big as a fist and [B] hard as steel
[C#m] Like a thousand souls before me [A] I'm the man of [B] my days
[E] When I thought about it I'd laugh and cry Till my eyes were swollen and shut
It [E]
was funny, man, it was tragic The [A] kind of [B] person [E] I'd become
I [A] would help you up a ladder To [B] watch you dangle [E] from a rope
[A] And I would shine a light upon you To [B] make you see a ray of hope
[E] I'd scratch and kick the love you [A] give Watch you [E] bleed and laugh down hurt
[E] But I'd [G#m] change my mind and kiss you And [A] say it all [B] without [C#m] one word
[G#m] [A] [F#m] [B]
[G#m] [A] Oh, [B] oh, [C#m] oh
In
[G#m] [A] [F#m]
[Em] [E] a house where prisoners worship A [A] heartbeat [E] scared to death
I got down on my knees And [A] claimed my innocence [B] under my breath
[C#m] Another betrayal I [A] put my temple [B] to the ground
I [E] felt my finger twitch And [A] it was [B] over, [C#m] man
I [A] would help you up a ladder To [B] watch you dangle [E] from a rope
[A] And I would shine a light upon you To make you see a [B] ray of hope
[E] I'd scratch and kick the love you give [A] Watch you bleed and [E] laugh down hurt
But I'd change my mind and kiss you And [A] say it all [B] without [C#m] one word
[A] I [F#m] said it [B] all without [C#m] one word
[G#m] [A] Oh,
[F#m] [E] [B] [G#m] [A] [B]
[C#m] [G#m] [A]
[F#m] [B] oh, oh
Oh, [G#m] [A] [B] oh, [C#m] oh
[G#m] I'm sorry
[A]
[F#m] [B] Oh, [E] oh, oh
