[Verse]

He was tall.

He had dark eyes.

He wore a worn and torn and

Tattered disguise.

He seemed human.

He seemed a man.

He was something I could

Never understand.

He was wrong.

He was right.

He would come from the shadows

Late at night.

I was scared.

I was afraid.

I ran from the nightmares

He had made.

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh,

He was strong.

No,

I didn't last long.

[Chorus]

Eb Gm F

I couldn't run.

By that time,

Gm F

He had already come.

Eb Gm F

And I couldn't hide,

He had already

Gm F

Made his way inside.

[Verse]

He had spite.

He had rage.

He took no note of my

Fragile age.

He seemed a monster.

He seemed a beast.

He looked upon me as if I were

A feast.

He was truth.

He was a lie.

He took all the joy that was

Once in my eyes.

I was frail.

I was naïve.

I couldn't see that he was

A vicious disease.

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh,

He was strong.

No,

I didn't last long.

[Chorus]

Eb Gm F

I couldn't run.

By that time,

Gm F

He had already come.

Eb Gm F

And I couldn't hide,

He had already

Gm F

Made his way inside.

[Bridge]

It was a mistake.

I was wrong.

Was I wrong?

Was I to blame?

It was a mistake.

I was wrong.

Was I wrong?

Was I to blame?

(single strum each chord from here till the end)

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh,

He was strong.

No,

I didn't last long.

[Chorus]

Eb Gm F

I couldn't run.

By that time,

Gm F

He had already come.

Eb Gm F

And I couldn't hide,

He had already
