Verse 1
(Dm Riff) x4
I spend my life on the move, my life on the road
Town to town, city to city, time zone to time zone
Success keeps you busy so I can't complain how life is
But in a life like this you tend to develop some vices
(G7 Riff)

My wife is my life and I'd never cheat on her
But there are one or two things that I do keep from her
(Dm Riff) x2
I have my addictions, or rather my addictions have me
Sometimes the shadow of my shadow is all I can be
(Dm Riff II)

I find myself alone in different hotel rooms
Just me and my thoughts and that milk-stained moon
I'm drawn to walk the streets as my heart rate rises
A heavy coat, a scarf, a hat, all become my disguises.
(G7 Riff) x2
I've made it known that I suffer from nosebleeds and migraines
To explain the occasional mood swings and blood stains
(Dm Riff) x2
There's over a thousand people murdered in this world each day
So as I drift from town to town nobody looks my way
It's an Dmaddiction, and I ain't proud of it
But the Dsus2power that you feel there's no clouding it.
The fDmear before the fact, as they know something's wrong
The Dsus2vain attempts to scream their muffled swan song
The stDmruggle, the shock in their eyes,
My gDsus2rip around their throat as all their hope dies
That Dmsudden loss of breath, there is no thrill equal,
N.C.
My name is Johnny Depp and I kill people.
Refrain
(Dm Riff) x2
The Fear, The Scream, The Struggle, The Shock
The Fear, The Scream, The Struggle, The Shock
(Dm Riff II) x2
The Fear, The Scream, The Struggle, The Shock
The Fear, The Scream, The Struggle, The Shock
Verse 2
(Riff x4)
You fuckers never saw it coming, who'da thunk it or thought it?
You'd be ignored like the ramblings of a drunk if you'd report it
My performances are greeted with plaudits and laughter
If you caught me red handed you'd probably think it's stigmata
(G7 Riff) x2
Success sucks less than standard existence
But when you exceed that standard dreams, what becomes of ambitions?
(Dm Riff) x2
The average man can dream dreams of a path he's never walked
But when that path's your day to day, your dreams become warped
Refrain
(Dm Riff II) x2
The Fear, The Scream, The Struggle, The Shock
The Fear, The Scream, The Struggle, The Shock
Verse 3
(Dm Riff II) x4
People underestimate the value of dreaming
That which you aspire to provides a roof, a ceiling
In particular the dreams that there's no way of achieving
Like I wanna be Brad Pitt or something equally fleeting
(G7 Riff) x2
I can't aspire to such things so deeper I must delve
And then the only guide I have to life becomes myself
(Dm Riff) x2
This was always going to happen, in fact I'd be surprised if I'm the first
This kind of success and power is bound to bring out the worst
With sDmuccess comes power and great success has been given me
And with great Dsus2power... comes great fuck-a-bility
I'm a gDmood husband though, I've never cheated on my wife
Despite Dsus2opportunities I live a monogamous life
My Dmaddictions manifest in a darker form
If the hDsus2eart is a house, I have a blood stained lawn
N.C.
My public portraits immaculate but there's blood on the easel
My name is Johnny Depp and I kill people
Refrain

The Fear, The Scream, The Struggle, The Shock
