CCsus4CCsus4 Welcome to my secret lair on Skullcrusher Mountain CCsus4 I hope that you've enjoyed your stay so far C7 I see you met my assistant Scarface FC His appearance is quite disturbing FG7 but I assure you he's harmless enough FC He's a sweetheart calls me Master FG7FG7 And he has a way of finding pretty things FG7 and bringing them to me
C I'm so into you Gm But I'm way too smart for you F Even my henchmen think I'm crazy Fm I'm not surprised that you agree C If you could find some way to be Gm A little bit less afraid of me F You'd see the voices that control me Fm from inside my head A#7CCsus4 Say I shouldn't kill you yet
CCsus4CCsus4 I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you CCsus4 But I get the feeling that you don't like it C7 What's with all the screaming FC You like monkeys you like ponies FG7 Maybe you don't like monsters so much FC Maybe I used too many monkeys FG7FG7 Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony FG7 making a gift for you
C I'm so into you Gm But I'm way too smart for you F Even my henchmen think I'm crazy Fm I'm not surprised that you agree C If you could find some way to be Gm A little bit less afraid of me F You'd see the voices that control me Fm from inside my head A#7CCsus4CC7 Say I shouldn't kill you yet
FEm Picture the two of us alone inside my golden submarine FG7 While up above the waves my doomsday squad CC7 ignites the atmosphere F And all the fools who lead their foolish lives EmA7 may find it quite explosive DmFG7 Well it won't mean half as much to me if I don't have you here
CCsus4CCsus4 You know it isn't easy living here on Skullcrusher Mountain CCsus4 So maybe you could cut me just a little slack C7 Would it kill you to be civil FC I've been patient I've been gracious FG7 And this mountain is covered with wolves FC Hear them howling my hungry children FG7FG7 Maybe you should stay and have another drink FG7 and think about me and you
C I'm so into you Gm But I'm way too smart for you F Even my henchmen think I'm crazy Fm I'm not surprised that you agree C If you could find some way to be Gm A little bit less afraid of me F You'd see the voices that control me Fm from inside my head A#7C Say I shouldn't kill you yet A#7C I shouldn't kill you yet A#7CCsusC I shouldn't kill you yet
