[verse 1]
                Dm
You’ve got the devil on 
your shoulder

You better shut your mouth
 just like I told ya

You’ve been controlling me
 through fiction,
It’s obvious.

a bad addiction

       Dm
I’m having bad dreams
        Bb          C
And nothing you can do will
 keep the
Dm         C
bad things away from me
C            Dm
Until I fall asleep
Dm
Bad dreams
Bb                     C
Despite your good intentions,
Dm                       C
The girl is like an architect
Bb              C
And I am just a new invention

I am just a new invention
Dm
C               Bb
I am just a new invention
