           D                 G 
There's a girl across the street from me 
   D                G 
I buried her son beneath a tree 
   D                    G 
I don't know why she's mad at me 
         D               G 
He was stinking up my garage, you see

   D                  G 
I met a cute boy, he liked my smile 
    D                  G 
We fell in love for a little while 
    D                            G 
He kissed me on the lips and it tasted sweet 
       D                          G 
So I chopped him into pieces and cooked his meat

 D                  G 
Serial killers are people too 
        D                        G 
If you take away the voices I'm just like you 
      D                       G 
I'll hack you up and bury you in my yard 
      D                              G          D    G D G  D G D G 
But why does making friends have to be so very hard?

I made a dress from a choir girl's skin 
   D                               G 
I wore it to church, the preacher said I'd sinned 
    D                     G 
Forgive me Father for my fashion crime 
       D                       G 
Your skin is so nice I'll use yours next time
