Lyrics

[Intro]
| Dm | - | Cadd9 | - |
| Am | - | F     | - |
| Dm | - | Cadd9 | - |
| Am | - | F     | - |

[Verse 1]
Dm                     Cadd9       Am              F
  His father was a drinker and his mother cried in bed
Dm                      Cadd9           Am
  Folding John Wayne's tshirts when the swingset hit his
F
head
Dm                         Cadd9
  The neighbors they adored     him
        Am           F
For his humor and his conversation
Dm                         Cadd9
  Look underneath the house     there

[Chorus]
            Am
Find the few  living things, rotting fast,
F
 in their sleep
           Dm
Oh the dead
       Cadd9
2 7 people
          Am
Even more,  they were boys, with their cars,
F
 summer jobs
         Dm Cadd9 Am
Oh my God
        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                     Dm
In a dark room on the bed he kissed them all
                          Cadd9
He'd kill ten thousand people

[Chorus]
             Am
With a slight  of his hand, running far,
F                        Dm
 running fast to the dead
                             Cadd9
He took off all their clothes     for them
              Am
He put a cloth  on their lips, quiet hands,
F                       Dm Cadd9 Am F
 quiet kiss on the mouth

[Verse 3]
Dm                   Cadd9
  And in my best behavior
     Am               F
I am really just like him
Dm                 Cadd9
  Look beneath the floor boards
        Am             F
For the secrets I have hid
