Tom: Am
Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm Am
Baby, my dog hasn't let me sleep in over a month, I said
Dm Am
Even while I speak to you its teeth dig into my flesh
Dm Am
I want to kiss you but my lips twist at the pain I'm in and
Dm G
I want to hold you but I just can't get relaxed.
[Pre-Chorus]
C
For every sigh in the cold night
G#
Exhaust rolls from the rusted pipe
[Chorus]
Am G F
'Cause I can't stand another day of barking at the teeth who bite
Dm Am
So I'm meeting with a stranger to buy a silver bullet
And lay to rest this pest who's tying knots inside my stomach
Dm
Here it goes
G
Here it goes
[Verse 2] (Bass & Drums Only)
Dm Am
I knew that someday a shadow would go and show itself
Dm Am
Casting its silhouette upon the pale skin of my love
Dm
Puncturing the soft white neck
And draining out the deep blood red
Dm G
It feeds at night upon the darkness in my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
C
For every sigh in the cold night
G#
Exhaust rolls from the rusted pipe
[Chorus]
Am G F
'Cause I can't stand another day of barking at the teeth who bite
Dm Am
So I'm meeting with a stranger to buy a silver bullet
C G F
And lay to rest this pest who's tying knots inside my stomach
Dm
Here it goes
G
Here it goes
[Outro]
Dm F G Am Dm F G Am
Honey I'm sure you're wearing thin watching my eyes grow distant
Dm F G Am Dm
I know I love you sounds more like a chant lately
F G Am
But I still mean it
