EEsus4EEsus4 Welcome to my secret lair on Skullcrusher Mountain EEsus4 I hope that you've enjoyed your stay so far E7 I see you met my assistant Scarface AE His appearance is quite disturbing AB7 but I assure you he's harmless enough AE He's a sweetheart calls me Master AB7AB7 And he has a way of finding pretty things AB7 and bringing them to me
Chorus E I'm so into you Bm But I'm way too smart for you A Even my henchmen think I'm crazy Am I'm not surprised that you agree E If you could find some way to be Bm A little bit less afraid of me A You'd see the voices that control me Am from inside my head D7EEsus4 Say I shouldn't kill you yet
EEsus4EEsus4 I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you EEsus4 But I get the feeling that you don't like it E7 What's with all the screaming AE You like monkeys you like ponies AB7 Maybe you don't like monsters so much AE Maybe I used too many monkeys AB7AB7 Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony AB7 making a gift for you
Chorus E I'm so into you Bm But I'm way too smart for you A Even my henchmen think I'm crazy Am I'm not surprised that you agree E If you could find some way to be Bm A little bit less afraid of me A You'd see the voices that control me Am from inside my head D7EEsus4EE7 Say I shouldn't kill you yet
Bridge
AAbm Picture the two of us alone inside my golden submarine AB7 While up above the waves my doomsday squad EE7 ignites the atmosphere A And all the fools who lead their foolish lives AbmC#7 may find it quite explosive F#mAB7 Well it won't mean half as much to me if I don't have you here
Verse 3
EEsus4EEsus4 You know it isn't easy living here on Skullcrusher Mountain EEsus4 So maybe you could cut me just a little slack E7 Would it kill you to be civil AE I've been patient I've been gracious AB7 And this mountain is covered with wolves AE Hear them howling my hungry children AB7AB7 Maybe you should stay and have another drink AB7 and think about me and you
Final Chorus E I'm so into you Bm But I'm way too smart for you A Even my henchmen think I'm crazy Am I'm not surprised that you agree E If you could find some way to be Bm A little bit less afraid of me A You'd see the voices that control me Am from inside my head D7E Say I shouldn't kill you yet D7E I shouldn't kill you yet D7EEsus4E I shouldn't kill you yet
