This is where we start to change things up - different chord order, a different rhythm and I believe
it''s played about 10 times starting at "you''ve got a sick, you''ve got a sick mind, boy..."

This might take a little work to nail the rhythm but it''s not difficult. This riff starts when he sings
"I will drink your blood forever" the last four times at the beginning of that blood drinking stanza.
It continues until the end "A is for assholes, B is for backstab..."
The room is dark, my head is spinning
They say she''s dead, I don''t remember that
But that''s okay, I''ll run away
I''ll do my time, you will remember me
I''ve got that long teeth, top hat
Cape on, love that
Oh, cross-eyed Nicholas
Cross-eyed faggot
I''ve got that long teeth, top hat
Cape on, love that
Oh, cross-eyed Nicholas
Cross-eyed faggot
I''ll pierce your brain, I''ll cut your veins
I''ll drink your blood, and I will kill for fun
We''ll run away, but that''s okay
We''ll stay the same, and we will never age
I''ll pierce your brain, I''ll cut your veins
I''ll drink your blood, and we will kill for fun
We''ll run away, but that''s okay
We''ll never age, and we will stay the same
I''ve got that long teeth, top hat
Cape on, love that
Oh, cross-eyed Nicholas
Cross-eyed faggot
I''ve got that long teeth, top hat
Cape on, love that
Oh, cross-eyed Nicholas
Cross-eyed faggot
You''ve got a sick, you''ve got a sick mind boy
And she''s a good girl, she doesn''t play with toys
But it was ashes to ashes and we all fall down
And you can mimic my language but you can''t copy my sound
I carved my eyes out and I placed them on my porch
So I could see where I lived forever
I will know where I died forever
I will drink your blood forever
I will know where I lived forever
I will know how I died forever
I will drink your blood forever
I will drink your blood forever
I will drink your blood forever
I will drink your blood forever
I will drink your blood forever
I will drink your blood forever
I will know where I lived forever
I will know where I died forever
I will drink your blood forever
I will drink your blood forever
I will drink your blood forever
I will drink your blood forever
I will drink your blood forever
I will drink your blood forever
A is for asshole
B is for backstab
C is for cute guys
I can''t get over
D is for dad
Everyone loves you
F is for fuck
G is for go and
H is for hell
Hell in my head
And I can''t let this go
I can''t let this go
I can''t let this go
| P.M. Palm mute
