  			Em    
They sent him away to find them a fortune 
Em 
A chest filled with diamonds and gold 
C 
The husband's away, the shadows and monsters 
C 
The hallways, they echoed and glowed 

Em 
I sat alone, in bed till the morning 
Em 
I'm crying "they're coming for me" 
C 
And I tried to hold, these secrets inside me 
C 
My mind's like a deadly disease 

                   Em 
I'm bigger than my body 
                     C 
I'm colder than this home 
                   Em 
I'm meaner than my demons 
                      Bm 
I'm bigger than these bones 

Em                                           Bm 
And all the kids cry out "please stop you're scaring me" 
Em                      Bm 
I can't help this awful energy 
Em                           Bm 
God damn right you should be scared of me 
C            Bm 
Who is in control? 

Em 
I paced around, for hours I'm empty 
Em 
I jumped at the slightest of sounds 
C 
And I couldn't stand, the person inside me 
C 
I turned all the villains around 

                   Em 
I'm bigger than my body 
                     C 
I'm colder than this home 
                   Em 
I'm meaner than my demons

I'm bigger than these bones

Well I'm well acquainted with villains that live in my head 
Em                        C                      Em                C 
They beg to write them so they'll never die when I'm dead 
Em                           C                        Em           C 
And I've grown familiar with villains that live in my head 
Em                        C                   Em                   C
