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

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

[Verse 3]
C# C/C# A#m G#
And you're shaking your arm just to stay awake
F# G# F# G#
As you're getting grey hairs at age twenty-two
C# C/C# A#m G#
You've been counting the hours down today
F# G# F# G# C#
'Cause you know that you've got just one chance to escape all of this
[Chorus]
D#m F#
They don’t tell you
A#m
Not to try
C# F#
They just wear you down
A#m F#
As you run your fingers along the marked wall
C#
That you chipped and inscribed
G#
With the thoughts you could never let go
