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

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

[Verse 3]
A# A/A# Gm F
And you're shaking your arm just to stay awake
D# F D# F
As you're getting grey hairs at age twenty-two
A# A/A# Gm F
You've been counting the hours down today
D# F D# F A#
'Cause you know that you've got just one chance to escape all of this
[Chorus]

They don’t tell you

As you run your fingers along the marked wall
