[Verse 1]
B A#/B G#m
Your eyes are painted red
F#
Just to show your age
E F# E F#
As the man with the sharp teeth bites down on your brain
B A#/B
Point me to your grave
G#m F#
That's where you’ll play guitar
E F#
With a gun to your head
E F#
And a flame in your heart

[Verse 2]
B A#/B G#m
They keep you in the basement
F#
With no one you can hurt
E F#
One more chain 'round your leg
E F#
And twelve rips in your shirt
B A#/B
And now you're counting
G#m F# E
Down till mother is dead
F# E
Like the rest of the world
F# B
You detested for so long
[Chorus]
C#m E
They don’t tell you
G#m
Not to try
B E
They just wear you down
G#m E
As you run your fingers along the marked wall
B
That you chipped and inscribed
F#
With the thoughts you could never let go
[Break]

[Verse 3]
B A#/B G#m F#
And you're shaking your arm just to stay awake
E F# E F#
As you're getting grey hairs at age twenty-two
B A#/B G#m F#
You've been counting the hours down today
E F# E F# B
'Cause you know that you've got just one chance to escape all of this
[Chorus]
C#m E
They don’t tell you
G#m
Not to try
B E
They just wear you down
G#m E
As you run your fingers along the marked wall
B
That you chipped and inscribed

With the thoughts you could never let go
