[Intro]
C Fmaj7 Am G
[Verse 1]
That Cunforgiving Fmaj7pulse again
My Amsick pig-head comGpanion
ACs much a rotten Fmaj7part of me
As fAmorgotten twin or sGhadow?
Fur bCristles with the fFmaj7ever
His kAmick drum pulses quGicken
Him a spCecter. Me speFmaj7ctator
I'm caAmught inside his tGow
[Chorus]
And wAmhat am I to Fmaj7do?
Pull out his teCeth?
Or file doGwn his claws?
You kAmnow as well as Fmaj7I
No freedom liCes
Between his pGearly jaws
God, wAmhat am I to sFmaj7ay?
As if his nCame
Gives me some hoGly power
For whAmat I've done
I knFmaj7ow that even ChCrist's communion
WGine goes sour
[Verse 2]
O bCrother Id, you oFmaj7wn me
O faAmther Id, you're aGll I am
O rCeverend Id, please Fmaj7wipe
That endless tAmoothy smirk awGay
Red leCtters on my eFmaj7yelids
On evAmery gristle, bGone or cell
The oCne command for Fmaj7self
Presses Amme to obGey
[Chorus]
And wAmhat am I to Fmaj7do?
Pull out his teCeth?
Or file doGwn his claws?
You kAmnow as well as Fmaj7I
No freedom liCes
Between his pGearly jaws
God, wAmhat am I to sFmaj7ay?
As if his nCame
Gives me some hoGly power
For whAmat I've done
I knFmaj7ow that even ChCrist's communion
WGine goes sour
[Bridge]
And Amwhat am I to Fmaj7do?
God, wChat am I to sGay?
And Amwhat am I to Fmaj7do?
God, wChat am I to sGay?
[Chorus]
And wAmhat am I to Fmaj7do?
Pull out his teCeth?
Or file doGwn his claws?
You kAmnow as well as Fmaj7I
No freedom liCes
Between his pGearly jaws
Oh, whAmat am I to saFmaj7y?
As if his nCame
Gives me some hoGly power
For whAmat I've done
I knFmaj7ow that even ChCrist's communion
WGine goes sour

[Intro]

C Fmaj7 Am G

[Verse 1]

C Fmaj7

That unforgiving pulse again

Am G

My sick pig-head companion

C Fmaj7

As much a rotten part of me

As forgotten twin or shadow?

Fur bristles with the fever

Am G

His kick drum pulses quicken

C Fmaj7

Him a specter. Me spectator

Am G

I'm caught inside his tow

[Chorus]

Am Fmaj7

And what am I to do?

Pull out his teeth?

Or file down his claws?

Am Fmaj7

You know as well as I

No freedom lies

Between his pearly jaws

Am Fmaj7

God, what am I to say?

As if his name

Gives me some holy power

For what I've done

I know that even Christ's communion

Wine goes sour

O brother Id, you own me

Am G

O father Id, you're all I am

O reverend Id, please wipe

Red letters on my eyelids

Am G

On every gristle, bone or cell

The one command for self

Am G

Presses me to obey

[Chorus]

Am Fmaj7

And what am I to do?

Pull out his teeth?

Or file down his claws?

You know as well as I

No freedom lies

Between his pearly jaws

As if his name

Gives me some holy power

For what I've done
