DmSoon enough the room begins to BbM7spin
And Gmall the way into the drain goes the Arest of it
But Dmfar beyond the space between the waClls
They couldn’t find the stGmewardess
I Dmhope you know they won’t forget
It BbM7runs into my veins, I’m Cchlorinating BbM7up
And up above, the eCmanation BbM7of the son
Who thinks he’s Cgot something to BbM7prove
And we’re so scared of itC  
[Chorus]
I defy Dmyou, Amkeeper of the dying, I deBbfy you
CSpinning in the night into our Dmbedrooms
And Amtelling us it’s over, I deBbfy youC  
I defy Dmyou, Amkeeper of the dying, I deBbfy you
CSpinning in the night into our Dmbedrooms

Now Dmquiet in the darkness we will BbM7wait
GmOne by one our bodies start to Aseize
But Dmtake my hand our lead of mine of CMystery
Don’t be afraiGmd of it, I’ve got a planDm

BbM7

[Verse]

Dm BbM7

Soon enough the room begins to spin

Gm A

And all the way into the drain goes the rest of it

Dm C

But far beyond the space between the walls

They couldn’t find the stewardess

I hope you know they won’t forget

BbM7 C BbM7

It runs into my veins, I’m chlorinating up

C BbM7

And up above, the emanation of the son

C BbM7

Who thinks he’s got something to prove

And we’re so scared of it

[Chorus]

Dm Am Bb

I defy you, keeper of the dying, I defy you

C Dm

Spinning in the night into our bedrooms

Am Bb C

And telling us it’s over, I defy you

Dm Am Bb

I defy you, keeper of the dying, I defy you

C Dm

Spinning in the night into our bedrooms

Am Bb C

And telling us it’s over, I defy you

[Verse]

Dm BbM7

Now quiet in the darkness we will wait

Gm A

One by one our bodies start to seize

Dm C

But take my hand our lead of mine of Mystery

Gm Dm

Don’t be afraid of it, I’ve got a plan

BbM7 C BbM7

And down into the cove and opal of your heart

C BbM7

To take the key you swallowed at the start,

C BbM7 C

Unlock the space that lies between the walls and run on home

[Chorus]

Dm Am Bb

I defy you, keeper of the dying, I defy you

C Dm

Spinning in the night into our bedrooms

Am Bb C

And telling us it’s over, I defy you

[Bridge]

BbM7 C BbM7

And down into the cove and opal of your heart

C BbM7

To take the key you swallowed at the start,

C BbM7 C

Unlock the space that lies between the walls and run on home

[Interlude]

Gm Bb Dm C

[Chorus]

Dm Am Bb

I defy you, keeper of the dying, I defy you

C Dm

Spinning in the night into our bedrooms

Am Bb C

And telling us it’s over, I defy you

I defy you, keeper of the dying, you are unknown

C Dm

She is on her way to see the Mystery

Am Bb C

She will be the queen and she’ll defy you...
