[Verse 1]

B                   A#/B   G#m
Your eyes are painted red
                   F#
Just to show your age
        E            F#       
As the man with the sharp teeth 
         E           F#
bites down on your brain
B                A#/B
Point me to your grave
   G#m                      F#
That's where you’ll play guitar
        E           F#
With a gun to your head
       E             F#
And a flame in your heart

[Verse 2]

B                    A#/B       G#m
They keep you in the basement
Continúa después del anuncio
                     F#
With no one you can hurt
          E                 F#
One more chain 'round your leg
            E            F#
And twelve rips in your shirt
    B           A#/B
And now you're counting
G#m        F#         E
Down till mother is dead
          F#          E
Like the rest of the world
       F#          B
You detested for so long

[Chorus]

C#m         E
They don’t tell you
       G#m
Not to try
 B          E
They just wear you down
   G#m                    E
As you run your fingers along the 
marked wall
          B
That you chipped and inscribed
          F#
With the thoughts you could never 
let go

[Verse 3]

B           A#/B        G#m     
And you're shaking your arm just
     F#
 to stay awake
    E              F#           E
As you're getting grey hairs at 
           F#
age twenty-two
B           A#/B         G#m    
You've been counting the hours 
        F#
down today
            E               F#    
'Cause you know that you've got 
        E           F#          B
just one chance to escape all of 
this

[Chorus]

C#m         E
They don’t tell you
       G#m
Not to try
 B          E
They just wear you down
   G#m                    E
As you run your fingers along the 
marked wall
          B
That you chipped and inscribed
          F#
With the thoughts you could never 
let go
