D#maj7                Cm
He followed me home again
        F/A           Cm
And his eyes were watering
    F/A           Cm
His eyes were watering
          F
Like a child
D#maj7             Cm
I made-believe for him
        F/A           Cm
That my blood was dripping
    F/A               Cm
My blood was dripping into

Chorus:
 F    Gm
His mouth
   F   Gm
Screaming
   F   Gm
Screaming

He cut off my oxygen
And my eyes were watering
As he tore into my skin like a lion
I knew it was poison
As he filled me to the brim
And my blood was dripping like a lamb

Chorus:
Screaming
Screaming
Screaming

Gm         D#maj7   F
Leave your bedroom light on
Gm        D#maj7    F
I live to watch you undress
         Gm             F
And you know that I'm there
       D#maj7       F
As you soak in my stare
          Gm    F
With your right arm

Gm
Come to me
Come to me
Come
Come to me
