In Memory of Satan


C
Got my paintbox out last night
Am
Stayed up late and wrecked this place
Em             F
Woke up on the floor again
C                      F           G   
Cellphone stuck to the side of my face

(Cmaj7 for 8 measures)

C
Dead space on the other end
Am
Perfect howl of emptiness
Em           F
Cast my gaze around the room
C                      F       G      F
Someone needs to clean up this mess


            C         F
Tape up the windows
          C                 G
Call in a favor from an old friend

(Cmaj7 for 8 measures)

C
Make some scratches on my floor
Am
Crawl down on my hands and knees
Em            F
In old movies people scream
C                                    F            G        Dm
Choking on their fists when they see shadows like these


           C                        G      Dm
But no one screams 'cause it's just me
               C                     G
Locked up in myself, never gonna get free

(Cmaj7 for 8 measures)

C
Something sacred, something blue
Am
Cannons in the harbor dawn
Em                   F
Crawled down here to dig for bones
C               F        G      F
One more season then I'm gone

                      C           F
Black drapes over the crosses
          C                 G
Call in a favor from an old friend

(Cmaj7 until you get tired of it)
