verse 1
E
Tell me again
About how it hurts
Am
Being awfully loud
For an introvert
E
Get out of my room
Smile wiped clean
Am
Isn't it weird
To be so mean
Pre-Chorus
E
I'm guessing that I've grown horns
I guess I'm human no more
Am
I can tell I've rotted in your brain
E
How easily passion twists
You think I'm a crazy bitch
Am
A thousand words are left unsaid
C D
'Cause no one listens to the dead
E
So maybe I will talk to you
E7
The only way I know how to
A
Mmm, mmm, you've said your speech
Mmm, mmm, through sharpened teeth
Am C
You break the rules and spikes grow from your skin
D
Please let the devil in
verse 2
E
A meter apart
You blankly stare
Am
We shout in our heads
Are you still in there?
E
Well this ends bad then
We knew it would
Am
We won't eat our words
'Cause they don't taste good
Pre-Chorus
E
I'm guessing that I've grown horns
I guess I'm human no more
Am
I can tell I've rotted in your brain
E
How easily passion twists
You think I'm a crazy bitch
Am
A thousand words are left unsaid
C D
'Cause no one listens to the dead
E
So maybe I will talk to you
E7
The only way I know how to
A
Mmm, mmm, you’ve said your speech
Mmm, mmm, through sharpened teeth
Am
You break the rules and spikes grow from your skin
E
Oh, I think it might be worth a try
E7
Oh, and I'm ready to let this die
A
Mmm, mmm, the monster's here
Mmm, mmm, you plug your ears
Am C
But hey, you might just listen to me soon
D
Please let the devil

Rap
E
Oh, you know that I've seen this before (?)
E7
High and mighty at the top of your list (?)
A
Enduring every move that rang a scene (?)
C
Both moulded with black and white teeth (?)
E
With my red eyes you look pale, oh (?)
E7
Only the stars that we can hold like scars (?)
A
Two ugly creatures with a sinister face (?)
C
Blind to the past like a couple of monsters
N.C.
Just a couple of monsters!
E
So maybe I will talk to you
E7
The only way I know how to
A
Mmm, mmm, you’ve said your speech
Mmm, mmm, through sharpened teeth

You break the rules and spikes grow from your skin

Oh, I think it might be worth a try
