[Intro]
|  G   C|    D| N.C. | 
       (stop)
[Verse]
He Gsits in your room, his tomb with a fistful of Dtacks
AmPreoccupied with his Gvengeance
GCursing the Bmdead that can't Canswer him Dback
You Amknow that he has no inCtentions
Of Dlooking your way, unless it's to say
That he Amneeds you to test his inCventions
[Chorus]
BaGbe, come Ccrawl out your Dwindow
Use your Ghands and Clegs, it won't Druin you
GHow can you Csay he will Dhaunt you
                      G             C         D|  G   C|    D| N.C. | 
You can go back to him anytime you want to        (stop)
[Verse]
He Glooks so truthful, is this how he Dfeels?
Trying to Ampeel the moon and exGpose it
With his Gbussiness like Bmanger and his Cblood hounds that Dkneel
If he Amneeds a third eye he just Cgrows it
He just Dneeds you to talk or to hand him his chalk
Or Ampick it up after he Cthrows it
[Chorus]
BaGbe, come Ccrawl out your Dwindow
Use your Ghands and Clegs, it won't Druin you
GHow can you Csay he will Dhaunt you

You can go back to him anytime you want to        (stop)
[Verse]
He Glooks so rightous, while your face is so Dchanged
As you Amsit on the box you keep Ghim in
While his Ggenocide Bmfools and his Cfriends rearDrange
The Amreligion of the little tin Cwomen
That Dbacks up their views, but your face is so bruised
Come on Amout, the dark is just beCginning
[Chorus]
Babe, Gplease come Cout your Dwindow
Use your Ghands and Clegs, it won't Druin you
GHow can you Csay he will Dhaunt you

 GYou've got a Clot of nerve to Dsay you are my friend
