Verse 1:
       C#m
It was written I should
                 B
be loyal to this nightmare
           F#m    C#m
that we're in But something

about all the sorrow in your
B                       F#m
heart that won't let me in
         E
Like the hands of a fool
     F#m      E   C#m
with money to burn   In
    E
the breath of one last
B             A
dying wish We hear
the call and it
B
sounds like there's


Chorus 1:
C#m         E
Rats in the walls
              F#m
It's like the dark
            A   B
side of the moon
F#m C#m
Serenade me with
  E
a whisper and let
     B
this nightmare
      A    C#m C#m C#m C#m
in us bloom


Verse 2:
C#m
Where do i send all my
                B
money? Who'll deliver
                  F#m
the nails through my
                C#m
heart When I've gone
and set it all up
burning like the walls
       B
In the ghetto of this
         F#m      C#m
reckless love Bow down
with a whimper to pass
            B
the time Or hold me down
    F#m
and take what's mine Put
   C#m
my head under water and
                  B
drink my wine And watch
               F#m
me take it all way too
        E
far Lip service to the 
         F#m
one that gave you your
E    C#m       E
crown   You're holding your
                 B
breath as you're waiting
             A
to drown The echoes in your
B
head bounce around like


Chorus 2:

side of the moon
F#m C#m
Serenade me with
  E
a whisper and let
     B
this nightmare
      A
in us bloom
  B
Tonight I'm all
C#m
dressed here in
E
black I got your
F#m          A
monkey on my back
B  F#m C#m
We are not what we
            E
say we mean everything
            B
we do And tonight I'm
          A
gonna kill another
        C#m B
part of you


Bridge:
 A         B
Stimulation hollow
     C#m
transmission ill
       B
defined At the
A             B
center of our hearts
         C#m
a signal too obscure
       B A
to find Acoustic
        B
shadows sex and chaos
        C#m
and the sound of you
      B A
and me  Here all roads
  B       F#m B
defy your gra-vity

a whisper and let

this nightmare

in us bloom

monkey on my back

we do And tonight I'm

gonna kill another
