There are ghosts and demons that hide in the dark.
Am C G
Oh, they wait till I find love and then the-e-y laugh.
G
Oh, they know that my body is no way good enough.
Know that my heart is no way strong enough
Am C G
To bare the sorrow that love brings.
Am C G
When i coil in fear, oh, the de-e-mons sing-
