D
Heart of steel
Born to kill
Mothers milk
                     A
Left me dressed in shame
              D
I just go my way
D
Move too fast
It won't last
Hammerhead
             A
Daddy went away
                   D
He still knows my name

Chorus:
Bm                    G
Ooh somethings gotta give
                  A
The paper on the wall
                    D
Soon will peel and fall
Bm                       G
Ooh and then you see my face
                 A
Painted up with sin
Cover me
           D
Cover me again

I outgrew my old shoes
My backyard
Was cluttered up with lies
Kept it easy on the eyes
Fresh homemade
Undershade
Black and red
Paint my fingers blue
Still hiding from the truth
Mm my best friend kills the pain
Hmm, but only for a day
Mm, keeps chewing on my veins

Chorus

Cover me again
