[Abm] [Gb] [Abm] [Gb]
[Abm]
Hey, hey, the clowns are awake, the straw for the donkeys and the [Gb] innocents can [Db] all
sleep [Ab] [G] safely, [Db] all sleep safely.
[G]
[Abm] [Bbm] Bye, bye, the sun is bright, the slaughter for the [Abm] cannons and the [Eb] guilty ones can [Abm] all
sleep safely, [Db] [G] all [Db] sleep safely.
[Em] [A]
And [Em] all the world is [A] football shaped, it's [G] just a made to kick [B]
space, and [A] I can see it
spells [B] a state, and [E] I've got one, two, three, four, five senses working [B] overtime, [A] trying
[B] to take [E] this [B] all in, and [E] I've got one, two, three, four, five senses working [B]
overtime,
[A] time it [B] takes to keep the [A] speed of lemon [B] and lime, [A] pain [B] and pleasure [E] and the church bells softly chime.
[Gb] [Abm] [Gb] [Abm]
[Bbm] [Abm] [Db] Ahhhh.

[Abm] [Gb] Bye, [Abm] bye, the sky [Gb] will [Abm] cry, jewels [Ebm] for the [Abm] thirsty and the guilty [Gb] ones can [Db] all die [Em] [Db] slowly,
All the dice [Dbm] are rolling
[A] And all [Em] the world [A] is biscuit-shaped
It's just [G] for me to feed [B] my face
And [Gbm] I can see his spell [B] touch taste
And [E] I'm trapped one, two, three, four, five
This is what we call [B] a game
[A] Trying [B] to [E] take this [B] all in
I'm trapped [E] one, two, three, four, five
This [A] is what we [E] call a [B]
life
[A] Silence [B] is a thing [A] we will never [B] [A] analyze
[B] Pain and pleasure [E] and the churn will softly [A]
shine
[G] [A] [G] [Em]
[G] [A] [G] [A]
[G] And [A] hurts my [G] fall from [A] my [G] side
[A] [G] [A]
[G] And boys, [A] I [Em] give you black [A] [G] eyes
[Gbm] [G]
[A] [G] And bosses, [A] I spit [G] on [A] black [G] eyes
