C                       Em              G 
You're like the calmest slit to my neck 
C 
Bring me in closer 
Em                        G                          C 
Spruce up my soul and you fill it with coal then you douse it in lava 
Em                G 
Chained to my desk 
C 
Beckoning nausea 
Em                      G                   C 
Desperately chosen from a crowd of one, and I? 


        Em   G     C 
Call me "Mr. Rattlebone" 
     Em        G           C 
Holy Ghost who haunts your home 
           Em       G      C 
They don't know you like I know 
        Em   G     C 
Call me "Mr. Rattlebone" 

Verso 2: 
                                    Em               G 
That's right, "fuck all the drama," I'll be your muse 
     C                G 
Now, take what I offer 
Em                             G                       C 
Straight up the nose, down the throat, it's a bearable bruise on your conscience 
    Em                 G 
But don't it feel good? 
C 
Don't you feel calmer? 
Em                   G                        C 
I am the way and the life in the best looking truth 

Oh, oh, oh, oh 


        Em   G         C 
Call me "Mr. Rattlebone" 
     Em        G               C 
Holy Ghost who haunts your home 
           Em       G          C 
They don't know you like I know 
        Em   G     C 
Call me "Mr. Rattlebone" 

Final 

I am the driver, I am the shadow, and I am the hearse  
I am the driver, I am the shadow, and I am the hearse  
I am the driver, I am the shadow, and I am the hearse  
I am the driver, I am the shadow, and I am the hearse  
I am the driver, I am the shadow, and I am the hearse  
I am the driver, I am the shadow, and I am the hearse  
I am the driver, I am the shadow, and I am the hearse
