Verse 
Em                    F 
In a remote compound space 
Em                                    F 
Took the life of a man with the same name 
Em                       F 
Slashed his side on the blade 
Em                                   F 
On the handle his blood mourned his fate 

Pre-Chorus 
              F 
And there's a demon in their veins 
          Fm 
And their blood is sinned 
             F 
And yet they know in their brains 
                  Fm 
But it still gets sinned 

 
        Fm 
There's nothing more I hate 
     Em          Em6 
Than hearts that strain 
Em          Fm 
Hearts that strain 

Verse 
Em                 F 
Felophane riddled wall 
Em                           F 
Flosing in on the man who's nervous 
Em                      F 
Burned his side on the flames 
Em                                 F 
On the fire his flesh mourned his fate 

Pre-Chorus 
              F 
And there's a demon in their veins 
          Fm 
And their blood is sinned 
             F 
And yet they know in their brains 
                  Fm 
But it still gets sinned 

 
        Fm 
There's nothing more I hate 
     Em          Em6 
Than hearts that strain 
Em          Fm 
Hearts that strain 

Pre-Chorus 
              F 
And there's a demon in their veins 
          Fm 
And their blood is sinned 
             F 
And yet they know in their brains 
                  Fm 
But it still gets in 


        Fm 
There's nothing more I hate 
     Em          Em6 
Than hearts that strain 
Em          Fm 
Hearts that strain
