Verso 1: 
Am              F              C               C    C7+ 
 Heya Tom, it’s Bob.. from the office down the hall 
Am               F                 G 
 Good to see you buddy, how’ve you been? 
                         Am                Am7        D7  
 Things have been OK for me except that I’m a zombie now 
                           G 
I really wish you’d let us in 
  F                 C                E7         Am 
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand 
  F                 C                E7         Am 
Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand 
    F              Fm 
But here’s an FYI: you’re all gonna die.. screaming 

C      G             F               G 
All we want to do is eat your brains 
            C                   G                       F    (F/E F F/E F) G 
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no-one’s gonna eat your eyes 
C      G             F               G 
All we want to do is eat your brains 
            Am            Em              F           (F/E F F/E F F/E)  
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise: 
       F    F/E    Dm 
If you open up the doors 
F         F/E    F        G        C 
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains 

Verso 2: 
I don’t want to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan? 
To spend your whole life locked inside a mall? 
Maybe that’s OK for now but someday you’ll be out of food and guns 
And then you’ll have to make the call 
I’m not surprised to see you haven’t thought it through enough 
You never had the head for all that bigger picture stuff 
But Tom, that’s what I do, and I plan on eating you.. slowly 


F         F/E    F        G        Ab 
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains 
            Eb               C#°             C# 
I’d like to help you Tom, in any   way   I  can 
         C#m                             Ab 
I sure appreciate the way you’re working with me 
          Eb                  C#°          Fm 
I’m not a monster Tom, well, technically I am 
          C 
I guess I am 

Verso 3: 
I’ve got another meeting Tom, maybe we could wrap it up 
I know we’ll get to common ground somehow 
Meanwhile I’ll report back to my colleagues who were chewing on the doors 
I guess we’ll table this for now 
I’m glad to see you take constructive criticism well 
Thank you for your time I know we’re all busy as hell 
And we’ll put this thing to bed 
When I bash your head.. open
