[Verse 1]
               |C           C/B    |Am
 The ground was wet and the sky was dark
             |C           C/B      |Am        Am/G |
 You took her bet and she took your heart . . .
|F                                     |
 Wrapped it 'round an oak tree like you
|C            |G       |
 Did that '67 GTO. . .
|F            |Fsus2 F    |
 Oh, no . . .  .     . . .

[Verse 2]
       |C       C/B    |Am
 Lovers leave chaos and clothes
         |C                        C/B  |Am     Am/G |
 In quiet corners where you rarely ever  go . . .
|F                                   |
 One day you found proof that she was
|C                             |G          |
 Real despite your struggle to forget. . .
|F             |Fsus2 F    |
 Oh, yes . . .  .     . . .

[Chorus 1]
|Em          Fm          |C              |
 You're in a fight to the death my friend
|Em          Fm           |C      |
 Black metal t-shirts your shield
|Em             Fm          |C
 You've got the past on your breath my friend
    |G                           |F
 Now name all the monsters you've killed
      |G                           |F            |Fsus2 F
 Let's name all the monsters you've killed . . .  .     . .

[Verse 3]
            |C        C/B      |Am
 The man she chose to take your place . .
          |C                   C/B      |Am       Am/G |
 Turns his collar up to better frame his face . . .
|F                                    |
 . How you'd love to hate her, but you
|C                             |G             |
 Just can't hate somebody you don't know. . .
|F            |Fsus2 F    |
 Oh, no . . .  .     . . .

[Verse 4]
        |C       C/B     |Am
 Did she leave a trail of crumbs
             |C                             C/B    |Am       Am/G
 So you could find her when you're what you could become . . .
   |F
 Or did she know you well enough
   |C                         |G               |
 To realize that garden just won't grow? . . .
|F            |Fsus2 F    |
 Oh, no . . .  .     . . .

[Chorus 2]
|Em          Fm          |C              |
 You're in a fight to the death my friend
|Em         Fm         |C      |
 Airwaves a grand battlefield
|Em             Fm          |C
 You've got the past on your breath my friend
    |G                           |F
 Now name all the monsters you've killed
      |G                           |F            |Fsus2 F    |

[Verse 5]
        |C       C/B    |Am
 . In my sleep I build machines, but nobody
|C                   C/B    |Am         Am/G |
 Ever wants to hear about my dreams . . .
     |F                           |
 Last night I saw a burning Ferris
|C                        |G                |
 Wheel. The meaning's anybody's guess . . .
|F             |Fsus2 F    |
 Oh, yes . . .  .     . . .

[Verse 6]
       |C       C/B    |Am
 Lovers leave chaos and clothes
       |C                              C/B   |Am     Am/G |
 More debris that you can sort through in one go . . .
|F                                 |
 You say love is hell, but it's the
|C                                   |G         |
 Ghost of love that's made you such a mess . . .
|F             |Fsus2 F    |
 Oh, yes . . .  .     . . .

[Chorus 3]

 You're in a fight to the death my friend

 Fight like you're chained to the wheel

 You've got the past on your breath my friend
