            Bm
I'm like a ghost, I'll be living in a dirt room
A
Waiting for the day to be closer
                           E
To the window when you're home
I'll be standing by your back door
F#m
Reaching for the knife in my coat
                             Bm
I'm going to put it to your throat
You sweaty piggy, you're a bad man
A
What a fucking sad way to go
                             E
Your mother raised you as a joke
I should have wiped away her burden
         F#m                            Bm A E D
Use the curtain in the kitchen to choke you

Chorus:
Bm
You think you own me?
You should have known me
A
You took the future and the food off
my family's plate
E
You think you'll use me
I'm stronger than you
             D
You take my money, but it's useless
When you see what I do to you

Oh God, then you awoke
You started screaming through the duct tape
Don't ever think I'm letting you go
I'm busy digging you a hole
Now you'll be living in a dirt room
Breathing through the straw of your own
(Come on)
I really think that this is fun for the money
I'll make it comfy for the
time wasted making you rich
I want to cover you in ants, bees, and honey
Then take a picture for the cover of our album!

Chorus:
You think you own me?
You should have known me
You took the future and
the food off my family's plate
You think you'll use me
I'm stronger than you
You take my money, but it's useless
When you see what I do to you
You think you own me?
You should have known me
You took the future,
the food off my family's plate
You think you'll use me
But I'm stronger than you
You take my money, but it's useless
When you see what I do to you

    Bm             A
And now I see you, oh
                                E
'Cause your back's against the wall
                    F#m
And finally, you're mine
           Bm
You're mine

Chorus:
You think you own me?
You should have known me
You took the future and the food off
my family's plate
You think you'll use me
I'm stronger than you
You take my money, but it's useless
When you see what I do to you

I really think that this is fun for the money
We'll make you comfy for
the time wasted making you rich
I want to cover you in ants, bees, and honey
Then take a picture for the cover of our album!
