verse 1.1:
Dm C
Take your sympathy
Bb A
And shove it
Dm C
As for the pain

Well I love it
Dm C
I'll eat your words
Bb A
I'll devour your soul

I will laugh like a lemur while you
Bb A
Crawl back into your hole
verse 1.2:
Dm C
I won't deny you
Bb A
But I'll pay you no heed
Dm C
And if you keep stabbing me
Bb A
I will probably bleed
Dm C
But I'll pretend I'm a cloud
Bb A
And my rain will surround you
Dm C
And if you keep hurting me
Bb A
I'll eventually drown you
PreChorus:
Bb
And yes I know
C
I'm a little bit off
[Refrão]

But you, you can't leave

You can't open the door

You think you're unique

So run, run away
F C
From the fires that burn

You will do this again and again
F C
But you will never learn
verse 2.1:
Dm C
So keep looking down
Bb A
As you crush me keep smiling
Dm C
'Cause I will get up
Bb A
And there's no denying
Dm C Bb A
That I am one of your little punching clowns
Dm C
You can keep on striking
Bb A
But you can't keep me down
verse 2.2:
Dm C
You always think that you
Bb A
Are fearless and right
Dm C
But I think that you
Bb A
Are afraid in the night
Dm C
Of the ghosts, of the spirits
Bb A
That crawl into your head
Dm C
Of the skeletons that'll haunt you
Bb C
Until you're dead
[Refrão]
Dm Bb
But you, you can't leave

But you, you can't leave
