  			C#m                           G 
     I've been drinking dirty water 
Cadd9                      Am    E 
     I've been here before after all 
C#m                        G 
     The witching hour is upon us 
Cadd9                       Am      E 
     So you and I can sing, haunted songs 

( C#m  G ) 
( Cadd9  Am  E ) 

C#m                            G 
     In my dreams I'm climbing ladders 
Cadd9                        Am      E 
     And then I tumble down, rung by rung 
C#m                         G 
     And I keep on falling faster 
Cadd9                      Am     E 
     The heart is echoing, on and on 
Am     E 
On and on 

G                                   A7sus4 
     I feel an earthquake coming on 
Cadd9                       G 
     I feel the metal in my bones 
G                           A7sus4 
    'Cause I'm a natural disaster 
Cadd9                         G   A7sus4  Em 
     You're the morning after all my    storms 

C#m                            G 
     You're my sea of poison flowers 
Cadd9                     Am     E 
     Standing in the sun, row by row 
C#m                               G 
     I've been drinking dirty water 
Cadd9                            Am          E 
     The taste of sweet revenge, best served cold 
Am     E 
All we know 

G                                   A7sus4

Cadd9                       G 
     I feel the metal in my bones 
G                           A7sus4 
    'Cause I'm a natural disaster 
Cadd9                         G   A7sus4  Em 
     You're the morning after all my    storms
