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

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

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

With the thoughts you could never let go
