D# G# F#
Am I the devil's marbles don't move on without me
Bm
Who will be watching my body when I sleep?
C#
Who will I believe in?
How am I supposed to let it show when I don't even know?
Don't ask me to explain.
Don't ask me to explain.
Besides, I don't want to be the one whose coming out first,
I'd really like to but I'm just too shy.
Don't ask me to explain.

And live in a big house together by an angry sea.

Who will be watching my body when I sleep?
Who will I believe in?
