C C/B Am

The ground was wet and the sky was dark

C C/B Am Am/G

You took her bet and she took your heart . . .

F

Wrapped it 'round an oak tree like you

C G

Did that '67 GTO. . .

F Fsus2 F

Oh, no . . . . . . .

C C/B Am

Lovers leave chaos and clothes

C C/B Am Am/G

In quiet corners where you rarely ever go . . .

F

One day you found proof that she was

C G

Real despite your struggle to forget. . .

F Fsus2 F

Oh, yes . . . . . . .

Em Fm C

You're in a fight to the death my friend

Em Fm C

Black metal t-shirts your shield

Em Fm C

You've got the past on your breath my friend

G F

Now name all the monsters you've killed

G F Fsus2 F

Let's name all the monsters you've killed . . . . . .

C C/B Am

The man she chose to take your place . .

C C/B Am Am/G

Turns his collar up to better frame his face . . .

F

How you'd love to hate her, but you

C G

Just can't hate somebody you don't know. . .

F Fsus2 F

Oh, no . . . . . . .

C C/B Am

Did she leave a trail of crumbs

C C/B Am Am/G

So you could find her when you're what you could become . . .

F

Or did she know you well enough

C G

To realize that garden just won't grow? . . .

F Fsus2 F

Oh, no . . . . . . .

Em Fm C

You're in a fight to the death my friend

Airwaves a grand battlefield

Em Fm C

You've got the past on your breath my friend

G F

Now name all the monsters you've killed

G F Fsus2 F

Let's name all the monsters you've killed . . . . . .

C C/B Am

In my sleep I build machines, but nobody

C C/B Am Am/G

Ever wants to hear about my dreams . . .

F

Last night I saw a burning Ferris

C G

Wheel. The meaning's anybody's guess . . .

F Fsus2 F

Oh, yes . . . . . . .

C C/B Am

Lovers leave chaos and clothes

C C/B Am Am/G

More debris that you can sort through in one go . . .

F

You say love is hell, but it's the

C G

Ghost of love that's made you such a mess . . .

F Fsus2 F

Oh, yes . . . . . . .

Em Fm C

You're in a fight to the death my friend

Em Fm C

Fight like you're chained to the wheel

Em Fm C

You've got the past on your breath my friend

G F

Now name all the monsters you've killed

G Fm Fm C

Let's name all the monsters you've killed . . . . . . .
