[E]Tell me again about how it hurts.
[Am]Being awfully loud for an introvert.
[E]Get out of my room, smile wiped clean.

Please [D]let the devil in.

[section 2]
[E]A meter apart, we blankly stare.
[Am]We shout in our heads, “Are you still in there?”

[E7]Oh, am I ready to let this die?
[A]Mhm, a monster’s here.
[A]Mhm, you plug your ears.
[Am]But hey, you might just listen to it [C]sing.
Please [D]let the devil in.

[chorus]

[A]They don’t taste so [Am]good.
[E]We won’t eat our [E7]words.
[A]They don’t taste so [Am]good.

[section 3]
[E]Look, we know that I’ve seen this before.
[E7]High and mighty, at the top of your list.
[A]Adoring every move, now my rank is sinking.
[Am]But we’re both guilty of black or white thinking.
[E]And through my red eyes, you look pale.
[E7]All of your scars are looking more like scales.
[A]Two ugly creatures, two sinister preachers.
[Am]Blind to the past, like a couple of monsters.
Just a couple of monsters!

[Closing]
[E]So maybe I will talk to you.
