[Intro]
(Guitar under violin riff)
D - Bm - A
 
[Verse 1]
D
      my dewey-eyed Disney bride what has tried
                            Bm
swapping your blood with formaldehyde?
A
Monsters?
 
D
Whiskey-plied voices cried fratricide
                                   Bm
Jesus don't you know that you coulda died, you shoulda died
         A
with the monsters what talk      E--2

monsters that walk the earth     G--2    (transition chord b/t verse/chorus)
                                 D--0

                                 E--x
 
[Chorus]
          Bm
she's got red lipstick
                     D
and a brown pair of shoes
              A
and she's got knee high socks
                Em
what to cover a bruise
             G
she's got an old death kit
           D
she's been meaning to use she's got
A                        Em
blood in her eyes in her eyes for you
          G        A                       D
she's got blood       in her eyes for you
 
[Verse 2]
 
certain fads, stripes and plaids, singles ads
                            Bm
run you hot and cold like a rheostat I mean a thermostat
       A
so you bite on a towel
                            D
hope it won't hurt too bad
 
Repeat 1st part of Verse 1 (my dewey eyed...)
 
[Chorus 2]
         Bm                           D
she says I like long walks and sci-fi movies
A                                   Em
you're six foot tall and east coast bred
G                        D
some lonely night we can get together
A                      Em
and I'm gonna tie your wrists with leather
    G            A              D
and drill a tiny hole into your head
              G            A                       D
oh, I'm gonna drill a tiny hooooooole... into your head
 
"Are you living or existing?"
