Key: B
Introduction:
Bm C D Em
Yes it was me that was beneath the sheet
Bm C D Em
That made your every dream a screaming scene
Bm C
Now that which you can see
G D
You best believe
Bm C
And say conclusively
G D C
"Yeah, the beast was me."
G D C G D C Em
And then our tragedy will be finally complete
Em
But expect no apologies
Bm C D Em
I just been done down in this dungeon so long
Bm C D Em
Only remember I did something wrong
Bm C
But the name of the crime
G D
It's been long gone
Bm C
I just lost track of time
G D C
And they were so strong
G D C
And yes, you got me wrong
G D C Em
If you thought I was down here alone
verse 2
Bm C D Em
No, I got this family, they're bigger and meaner than me
Bm C D Em
And they got greener eyes and larger needs
Bm C
Yes, I protected you
G D
But now you and me are through
Bm C
You face them on your own
G D C
And then we'll see how good you do
G D C
When you're beaten black and blue
G D C
Covered all in massive bruises
G D C
Then you'll know the dude you knew
G D C
Wasn't Jesus he was Judas
Em D C
When it's you stretching the noose
Em D C G D C
When it's you up on the crucifix affixed for all to view
G D C
Then you'll know who's truly ruthless
Em D C
Then you'll know the master rules
Em D C Em
And a student's just a student
verse 3
Bm C
A stupid student
Bm C D Em
Do you remember that thing we talked about?
Bm C D Em
You said it haunts you nearly every hour
Bm C
Yeah, well I heard about
G D
A way out
Bm C
And all you really do
G D C
Is open your mouth
G D C
That'll show that doctor crew
G D C
Just what that medicine do
G D C
And when they grieve for you
G Eb/D
They gotta see the proof
Bm C D Em
That indeed you were me and I was you
Bm C D Em
Then we, you never can divide in two
Bm C
And when they're killing me
G D
They're killing you
G D C
Yeah, they're killing you, killing you, killing you...
You...
Bm C
And it will be you and me
D Em
Beneath the leaves
