[Intro]
Dm Cadd9 Am F
Dm Cadd9 Am F
[Verse 1]
Dm Cadd9
His father was a drinker
Am F
And his mother cried in bed
Dm Cadd9
Folding John Wayne's t-shirts
Am F
When the swingset hit his head
Dm Cadd9
The neighbors, they adored him
Am F
For his humor and his conversation
Dm Cadd9
Look underneath the house there
Am F
Find the few living things, rotting fast in their sleep
Dm Cadd9
Of the dead, twenty-seven people
Am F
Even more, they were boys with their cars, summer jobs
Dm Cadd9
Oh, my Go-o-o-od
Am F
Are you one of them?
[Verse 2]
Dm Cadd9
He dressed up like a clown for them
Am F
With his face paint white and red
Dm Cadd9
And on his best behavior
Am F
In a dark room on the bed
Dm Cadd9
He kissed them all, he'd kill ten thousand people
Am F
With a sleight of his hand, running far, running fast
Dm Cadd9
To the dead, he took off all their clothes for them
Am F
He put a cloth on their lips, quiet hands, quiet kiss
Dm Cadd9
On the mo-o-o-outh
Am F
[Outro]
Dm Cadd9
And in my best behavior
Am F
I am really just like him
Dm Cadd9
Look beneath the floorboards
Am F
For the secrets I have hid
