Serpents

[Intro]Am Am C E


[Verse 1:]
Am
I was in the second grade when you pushed me out
Am
Third story window to the bushes down below
C
Breathing in the cold
      E
As I tumbled through the vines' thorns smiling at my throat
Am
I, I saw the devil in you that day
Am                            C
Looking down at me with that face
                                    E
Smiling like you would have hid my body in the basement
                 Am
Body in the Basement
                                              C
But you got something that the world's been running from
                         Am
For way too long and it's a sick twist
                    E
A nervous little twitch
Dragging the razors across my wrists
Am                                          C
And you got something that the world's been trying to hide
You're cyanide
   Am
Cause the only thing you told me was
                      E
They'd never find my body in the basement
Body in the basement, no

[Hook:]
Am                                      C
Every time I think about you know I go crazy
                Am
People ask me about you
I don't know what to say
                          E
Cause I don't know who you are
Am                                         C
I wonder if it's even possible for you to escape this
                 Am
Keep on asking about you

They don't know what to tell me
                        E
They don't know who you are
                        Am
They don't know who you are

[Verse 2:]
Am
I was listening through the wall when you met your monsters
Am                                      C
Heard'em break the closet door and take you away
                                 E
Hoping you would change like the color of the moonlight
Bouncing off the rain
Am
I, I heard the devil in you that day
                              C
Watch the world around you cascade
                                      E
Laughing like you would have fed your family to the serpent
                  Am
Family to the serpent
Am                                     C
You got something that the world won't talk about
They walk around it
   Am                            E
It's deep sleep, crawling in the street
Pushing the bayonet into me
Am                                     C
You got something that the world keeps trapped inside
You aconite
     Am
Cause I watched you turn around
                       E
Go and try to feed you family to the serpent
                      Am
Family to the serpent whole

[Bridge:]
Am                                C
These words won't break on you I know
             E                        Am
I've done my best to help so many times before
Am                              C
These words won't break on you I know
             E
I've done my best to help

[Hook]
Am                                      C
Every time I think about you know I go crazy
                Am
People ask me about you
I don't know what to say
                          E
Cause I don't know who you are
Am                                         C
I wonder if it's even possible for you to escape this
                 Am
Keep on asking about you

They don't know what to tell me
                        E
They don't know who you are
                        Am
They don't know who you are
