[Am] [Em] [Am]
[F#] [F]
[Am] Keep you in the [Em] dark [Am] so no [F#] layoff [F] returns.
[Am] Keep you in the [E] [Am] dark and [F#] so it all [F]
begins.
[E] [Am] Send in your skeletons, send in some bones from [F#m] marching in.
[F] Again.
[Am]
Beneath you buried deep, the secrets that you keep [F#] are never [F] ready.
Are [Em] you [Am] ready?
I'm finished making stamps.
Done bleeding in your breast [F#m] at home.
[F] The fence [A] is spinning and spinning to burn.
No wheel is spinning, the gate [F#m] is never [F] ending.
Never [G] ending.
[D]
Shame on [G] me.
[Am] What if I say I'm not like the others?
[C] What if I say I'm not [Am] just [F#] another guard at your place?
What if I [F]
say I will never [Am] surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
[C] What if I say I'm [Am] not just [F#] another guard at your place?
What if [F] I say I will never surrender?
[A]
[Am] In time I'm so untold.
I'm just another soul [F#m] to sell.
[F] Oh well.
[G]
[A] The pages of the past.
They are not my mother's next [F#m] of kin.
Sample memory.
[F] Sample [Em] memory.
[D] Shame on [G] me.
[Am] What if I say I'm not like the others?
[C] What if I say I'm [Am] not just [F#] another guard at your place?
You are the [F] pretender.
What if I say I will never [Am] surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
[C] What if I say I'm [Am] not just [F#] another guard at your place?
You are the [F] pretender.
What if I say I will never [D] surrender?
[E] [D]
[G] [A]
I'm the voice inside your head, you refuse to hear.
I'm the face that you have to face, mirror it in your stare.
I'm what's left, I'm what's right, I'm the enemy.
I'm the hand that'll take you down, you're you to your knees.
So who are you?
What
[Am] [Em] [Am]
[F#] [F]
if [Am] I say you're not like the [Em] others?
What if [Am] I say you're not [F#] just another one in your place?
You're the [F] pretender.
What if I say you will never surrender?
[Am] What if I say you're not like the others?
What [C] if I say you're not [Am] just another [F#] one in your place?
You're the [F] pretender.
What if I say you will never surrender?
[Am] What if I say you're not like the others?
[B] What if I [C] say you're not just another [D] one in your place?
[F] You are the pretender.
What if I say you will never [Am] surrender?
What if I say you're not like the [Em] others?
What if [Am] I say you're not just [F#] another one in your place?
[F] You are the pretender.
What if I say you will never [D] surrender?
[E] [F#m] [G] So [A] crazy!
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah!
