Intro: Am
 

Verse: 
Am 
Welcome my friends to the show 
            C                         G 
Dance and drink if you'd like or sit back and take notes 
        Am 
It's a fine night to test what you know 
         C                             G 
Who you fear who you love and who you cling to for hope 
F             G 
ooooooh  ooooooooh 
F             G 
ooooooh  ooooooooh 

Am  
There's  strange stifling smell in the air 
            C                   G 
Cigarette smoke, perfume and a tinge of despair 
Am  
I guess we should all get prepared 
           C                                G 
Load your guns, take your pills and start saying your prayers 
F           G 
Say your prayers 
F           G 
Say your prayers 


 

    C                                       Em         G 
I promised that this wouldn't happen to me    
    C                                        
I promised that this wouldn't happen to me 
           Em     F             G      E       Am 
I've got scales grow over my eyes and I can't see 



Verse: 

       Am  
If I falter as this moves along 
           C                         G 
Don't you stop me to ask if there's anything wrong 
      Am  
Your best bet's to just move along 
           C                     G 
Throw my bones in the river and write me a song 
F           G 
Sing these songs  
F           G 
Sing these songs 


 

  
    C                                       Em     G 
I promised that this wouldn't happen to me 
    C                                       Em     G 
I promised that this wouldn't happen to me 
    C                                    
Now I'm stockpiling bullets and vitamin c 
    Em           G 
oh noooo noooooo 
    C         
I promised that this wouldn't happen to me 
           Em     F           G       E       Am 
I've got scales grow over my eyes and I can't see 
F       G     Am 
Oooooooh 



Bridge: 
F          G      Am 
Say your prayers 
F          G      Am 
Say your prayers ooooooh 
F           G 
Sing these songs 
F         G 
Sing my songs 


 

    C                                       Em     G 
I promised that this wouldn't happen to me 
    C                                       Em     G 
I promised that this wouldn't happen to me 
           C       
Now I'm stockpiling bullets and vitamin c 
    Em           G 
oh noooooo nooooo 
    C  
I promised that this wouldn't happen to me 
           Em    F       G       E        Am 
Take the scales off my eyes I'm trying to see
