[Verse]
AmYou can say I'm mad, you can say I'm crazy,
EmBut I'm only as bad as the maker who made me:
GSinner in the darkness, liar in the church,
DmDeaf man's silence, the blind man's search.
AmTeardrop falling, memory recalling,
EmGhost in your dreams & your secret recordings,
GMad man's matches, the lump in the throat,
DmThe pea under your mattress, the hole in your coat.
AmSinger with the sound down, winner on the come down,
EmPoet in the overcoat looking for a suntan,
GOn his birthday, prisoner on his first day,
DmTired of the new wave.
[Chorus]
I rise to meeFt you as your Amtrust dissolves to shame,
Oh this inGnocence has Dmturned & lost its way,
Retrace the foFotprints off the pAmath from which I came,
I'm the Gbeast in you, the beast in me.

Which way are we going?
The doors close in an hour.
AmYou can say I'm mad, you can say I'm crazy
EmBut I'm only as bad as the maker who made me:
GNeedle for the user, the pain in your chest,
DmBeggar & the chooser, the wicked man's rest.
AmFear in the stuntman, sneer in the playground,
EmBottle in the hand of the dirty old drunk man,
GLeaf falling, autumn calling,
Dmdark clouds forming.
[Chorus]
FI rise to meet you as your Amtrust dissolves to shame,
Oh this Ginnocence has Dmturned & lost its way,
Retrace the Ffootprints off the pAmath from which I came,
I'm the Gbeast in you, the beast in me.
[Bridge]
FBite my nails right Amdown to the skin,
CWhere one trust ends another Glie begins.
FPatch over holes in my Amweakened heart,
CWhich angels hold & deGvils pull apart.
GI'm the beast in you, the beast in me,
DmThe bitterness, the jealousy,
AmThe part of you that never slEmeeps.

Are you my angel?
[Bridge]
And you Fhardly can imagine what you Amnever had before,
And the Greason that you're given still Dmleaves you wanting more.
And you Fhardly can imagine what you Amnever had before,
GAnd the reason that you're given still Dmleaves you wanting more.
[Chorus]
I rise to Fmeet you as your Amtrust dissolves to shame,
Oh this iGnnocence has Dmturned & lost its way,
Retrace the foFotprints off the Ampath from which I came,
GI'm the beast in you, the beast in me.
DmThe bitterness, the jealousy,
AmThe part of you that never slEmeeps.G
