Chorus
for this part its hard to emulate the exact sound on guitar for the smooth sond
But for this I pluged my Sk-1 synth into my pedals and used the distoriton
And delay and it came out fairly well, but here it is on guitar
Jonny -Bride/solo (Delay effect(or reverb)/distoriton)

verse 1:
Bm G Em
I am the key to the lock in your house
G Bm G Em
That keeps your toys in the basement
G Bm G Em
And if you get too far inside
G Bm G Em
You'll only see my reflection
Bm G Em
It's always best when the light is off
G Bm G Em
I am the pick in the ice
G Bm G Em
Do not cry out or hit the alarm
G Bm G Em
You know we're friends till we die
chorus:
Em
And either way you turn
G
I'll be there
Em
Open up your skull
G
I'll be there
Em
Climbing up the walls
verse 2:
G Bm G Em
It's always best when the light is off
G Bm G Em
It's always better on the outside
G Bm G Em
Fifteen blows to the back of your head
G Bm G Em
Fifteen blows to your mind
G Bm G Em
So lock the kids up safe tonight
G Bm G Em
Put the eyes in the cupboard
G Bm G Em
I've got the smell of a local man
G Bm G Em
Who's got the loneliest feeling
chorus 2:
G Em
That either way he turns
G
I'll be there
Em
Open up your skull
G
I'll be there
