Verse 1:
        Es        G-chord
I could steal the flame, from a candlelight
 
       Es         G-chord
Stab a man in the back, while I look in his eyes
 
Es          G-chord
Whisper the words, you like right in your ear
 
            Es
But there's things I'll do, when you're not here
 
 
Verse2:
       Es         G-chord
I will tell you I love you, until the end of time
 
     Es                  G-chord
Take the money from your pocket, put it into mine
 
E        G-chord
[We] can [trust], don't have any fear
 
            Es
But there's things I'll do, when you're not here
 
  (a lot of E's and G's)
 
So put your little hand in mine,
Let's walk a while,
I'll make you happy as a buzzing bee
 
But when the lights go out,
And you're not around,
I'll do the things that you'll never see
 
 
 
 
Verse 3:
     Es        G-chord
Some creatures walk, or fly above
           Es           G-chord
But like a snake in the grass, I'll sneak 'round real low
Es           G-chord
You'll never need to shed a tear
    Es
The nasty little things are done when you're not here
