Stabbing In The Dark

[Intro 1]
Bbm

[Intro 2]
Bbm
   In calculated silence
                     Ebm
Captivated by the violence I replay
             Gb             F
From fifteen years ago today
Gb
Oh,
   F       Bbm                 Ab/C      Db
an evil evolution Will bring a feeble ins
    Ebm
titution to its knees
       Gb                F
Oh, doctor can't you see?

[Intro 3]
              Bbm          Gb/Bb
That when the hands of fate
            Gb         F
Fall on the midnight hour
            Bbm         Gb/Bb
Behind this mask of hate
          Gb        F
I don the devil's power
                      Bb5
These are the devil's eyes

[Intro 4]
            Gb5 F5
The devil's eyes
Go!
Bb5 Gb5 F5

[Verse 1]
Bb5         Bb5
   A former portrait of perfection
Painted without plight
Now Haddonfield's my battlefield
Your kids won't make it home tonight
With a madness void of reason
I kill with every strike
I'll haunt you day after day
            Bb5
Knife after knife

[Pre-Chorus]
Day after day
            Gb5
Knife after knife
       F5
Taking life after life

[Chorus]
         Bb5      Eb5
When the hands of fate
            Gb5      F5
Fall on the midnight hour
            Bb5     Eb5
Behind this mask of hate
          Gb5     F5
I don the devil's power
                Bb5       Eb5
If there is life   in the shadows
             Gb5          F5
Let the knife   leave its mark
          Gb5                            F5
Where the certainty of safety feels like stabbing
                    Bb5
Stabbing in the dark

[Verse 2]
               Bb5
You'll learn a heartless human harvest
Feeds this festival of flesh
         A5
Stalking at the top
Scream of the crop
  Gb5         F5
A silent cut above the rest
      Bb5
Where blood's thicker than water
I've carved up quite a scene
          A5
With your worst fears cast on this white veneer
     Gb5                F5
I'll change the face of Halloween
You can't kill the boogeyman

[Breakdown 1]
Db5 C5 B5 Bb5
Gb5 F5

[Chorus]
         Bb5      Eb5
When the hands of fate
            Gb5      F5
Fall on the midnight hour
            Bb5     Eb5
Behind this mask of hate
          Gb5     F5
I don the devil's power
                Bb5       Eb5
If there is life   in the shadows
             Gb5          F5
Let the knife   leave its mark
          Gb5                            F5
Where the certainty of safety feels like stabbing
                    Bb5
Stabbing in the dark

[Bridge 2]
         Bb5
I am the shadow where there once was light
Strangling all signs of life
It's either you or some kid down the street
The choice is yours
                 Bb5
Trick r' fucking treat?

[Breakdown 3]
Bb5         Bb5      Eb5
   When the hands of fate

[Chorus]
            Gb5      F5
Fall on the midnight hour
            Bb5     Eb5
Behind this mask of hate
          Gb5     F5
I don the devil's power
                Bb5       Eb5
If there is life   in the shadows
             Gb5          F5
Let the knife   leave its mark
          Gb5                            F5
Where the certainty of safety feels like stabbing
                Bb5
Stabbing in the dark
