[D] [F] [D]
I wake up with my children right around [Dm] the crack of noon.
[D] I do good like a good daddy should, till the devil rolls [G] out that moon.
[C] [D] Once that whiskey hits my lips, it opens Pandora's [Dm] box.
[D] And I start a-lightin' and a-smokin' and a-fightin', gettin' crazy and the white tail fox.
[G] My eyes start burnin' wild and red, [E] two horns cut through the top of my [D] head.
My teeth get jagged, my tongue gets sharp, [G] cold neon blood starts to pump into my [E] heart.
My hands get frisky when I'm lying alone, [A] my legs start walkin' me.
And when we're [D] homin' I'm a double-talkin', chicken [G]-lickin', meanin' to the [D] dickin', sickin', wicked, old dickin', [G] thinkin' son of a gun.
[D] I'll learn you learn to care, I'll [G] bite you like a snake, and then [D] forsake and break everything I don't [G] take before I let him know.
[D]
[Dm]
[D] Most people who know me say I'm as nice as a guy could be.
That's all fine, cause most of the time they never get to see the [F] real me.
[D] He ain't got a bad bone in his body, that's how they talk about me back [F] home.
[D] But here my dark side is unable to hide, and don't wanna see [G] my bad [D] bone.
[G] My eyes start burnin' wild and red, [E] two horns cut through the top of my head.
[D] My teeth get jagged, my tongue gets sharp, [G] cold neon blood starts to pump into my heart.
[E] My hands get frisky when I'm lying alone, [A] my legs start walkin' me.
I don't wanna be anywhere [D] but home, and I'm a double-talkin', chicken [G]-lickin', meanin' to the [D] dickin', sickin', wicked, old [G] dickin', thinkin' son of a gun.
[D] I'll love you like the devil, [G] bite you like a snake, and then [D] forsake and break everything I don't [G] take before I let him know.
[D]
What I'll be [G] when I'm lonesome, [D] I'll roam me when [G] I'm high.
[D] And I'm a dream [G] when I'm older, [D] I'll chase that nightmare [G] until I die.
[D] I'll chase that nightmare [G] until I die.
[D] I'll chase that nightmare [Em] until I [G] die.

Well, [D] I'm a double-talkin', [G] chicken-lickin', meanin' to the [D] dickin', sickin', wicked, old [G] dickin', thinkin' son of a gun.
[D] I'll love you like the devil, [G] bite you like a snake, and then [D] forsake and break everything I don't [G] take before I let him know.
[D] I'll love you like the chicken [G]-lickin', meanin' to the [D] dickin', sickin', wicked, old [G] dickin', thinkin' son of a gun.
[D] I'll love you
