(play as power chords or octaves) 
C#m    Dm   C#m    D   4x 

C#m (palm mutes) 
         Let the fun and games begin 
       A 
         She is spayed and broken in 
 C#m     
         Skin is cold and white 
      A 
         Such a lovely lonely night 

Pre-Chorus 

C#m          E 
Heaven is on the way 
                   A 
You could feel the hate 
          F#              A        C#m 
but I guess you never will 
C#m       E 
I'm on a roll again 
          A        
and I want an end 
              F#            A             E 
'cause I feel you creeping in
