[Chorus]
A               D
Spending all my time
         E           A
watching trash in my room
A             D
Caking on the grime while
E                  A
plotting out their doom
A                   D
I'll see you on the streets,
               E          A
and here's the game we'll play
A             D
I will be the monster,
E              A
you can be the prey
D           B
And to your dismay,
E                 A
today is not your day!

A
Parents will fuck you in the head
A
Your mind will crack
             E
until you're dead
E                           A
They'll blame it all on the shows!
A
I don't believe in god
A
But god still believes in me,
             E
the preacher said
E          A
But nobody knows!

[Bridge]
C#                      D
I'll hide away in silly films
D              A
I gotta see it again
C#                        D
I'll make believe what is real
C
You can't take me alive
E
You don't know your own mind!
