[Verse 1]
ETell me again about how it hurts
AmBeing awfully loud for an introvert
EGet out of my room, smile wiped clean
AmIsn't it weird to be so mean?
[Pre-Chorus]
EI'm guessing that I've grown horns
EI guess I'm human no more
AmI can tell I've rotted in your brain
Oh, Ehow easily passion twists
EYou think I'm a crazy bitch
AmI craft my words to fit your head
'Cause Cno one listens Dto the dead
[Chorus]
  ESo maybe I will talk to you
  E7The only way I know how to
AMhm, I've said my speech
AMhm, through sharpened teeth
AmYou break the rules and spikes grow from your Cskin
Please Dlet the devil in
[Verse 2]
EA meter apart, we blankly stare
AmWe shout in our heads, "Are you still in there?"
EWell this ends bad then, we knew it would
AmSo we won't eat our words, 'cause they don't taste good
[Pre-Chorus]
EI'm guessing that I've grown horns
EI guess I'm human no more
AmI can tell I've rotted in your brain
Oh. Ehow easily passion twists
EYou think I'm a crazy bitch
AmA thousand words are left unsaid
'Cause Cno one listens Dto the dead
[Chorus]
ESo maybe I will talk to you
E7The only way I know how to
AMhm, I’ve said my speech
AMhm, through sharpened teeth
AmYou break the rules and spikes grow from your skin
EOh, I think it might be worth a try
E7Oh, am I ready to let this die?
AMhm, a monster's here
AMhm, you plug your ears
AmBut hey, you might just listen to it Csing
Please Dlet the devil in
[Bridge]
EWe won't eat our E7words 
AThey don't taste so Amgood 
EWe won't eat our E7words 
AThey don't taste so Amgood 
[Rap]
ELook, we know that I've seen this before 
E7High and mighty, at the top of your list
AAdoring every move, now my rank is sinking
AmBut we're both guilty of black or white thinking
EAnd through my red eyes, you look pale
E7All of your scars are looking more like scales
ATwo ugly creatures, two sinister preachers
AmBlind to the past, like a couple of monsters
N.C.
Just a couple of monsters!
[Chorus]
ESo maybe I will talk to you
E7The only way I know how to
AMhm, you've said your speech
AMhm, through sharpened teeth
AmYou break the rules and spikes grow from your skin
EOh, I think it might be worth a try
E7Oh, am I ready to let this die?
AMhm, a monster's here
AMhm, you plug your ears
AmBut hey, you might just listen to it Csing
Please Dlet the devil inE

[Verse 1]

Tell me again about how it hurts

Being awfully loud for an introvert

Get out of my room, smile wiped clean

Isn't it weird to be so mean?

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm guessing that I've grown horns

I guess I'm human no more

I can tell I've rotted in your brain

Oh, how easily passion twists

You think I'm a crazy bitch

I craft my words to fit your head

C D

'Cause no one listens to the dead

[Chorus]

So maybe I will talk to you

The only way I know how to

Mhm, I've said my speech

Mhm, through sharpened teeth

Am C

You break the rules and spikes grow from your skin

Please let the devil in

[Verse 2]

A meter apart, we blankly stare

We shout in our heads, "Are you still in there?"

Well this ends bad then, we knew it would

So we won't eat our words, 'cause they don't taste good

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm guessing that I've grown horns

I guess I'm human no more

I can tell I've rotted in your brain

Oh. how easily passion twists

You think I'm a crazy bitch

A thousand words are left unsaid

C D

'Cause no one listens to the dead

[Chorus]

So maybe I will talk to you

The only way I know how to

Mhm, I’ve said my speech

Mhm, through sharpened teeth

You break the rules and spikes grow from your skin

Oh, I think it might be worth a try

Oh, am I ready to let this die?

Mhm, a monster's here

Mhm, you plug your ears

Am C

But hey, you might just listen to it sing

Please let the devil in

Adoring every move, now my rank is sinking

But we're both guilty of black or white thinking

And through my red eyes, you look pale

All of your scars are looking more like scales

Two ugly creatures, two sinister preachers

Blind to the past, like a couple of monsters

N.C.

Just a couple of monsters!

[Chorus]

So maybe I will talk to you

The only way I know how to

Mhm, you've said your speech

Mhm, through sharpened teeth

You break the rules and spikes grow from your skin
