Am
I’ve got a problem and it’s serious
G
I don’t wanna bare my exterior
Am
I just wanna be mysterious
   G
So I don’t give these people anything to discuss

They ask me why I always walk with my eyes to my feet
I simply say, "I've got some demons that I'd like to defeat"
But since you always want to know what's happening
Here a few of my confessions, are you ready for this?

Chorus:
Em
Yes I’m a cheat, yes I’m a liar
Cmaj7
Yes I’m a victim of desire
    G                                    A
So give me your flesh, cause I’m a carnivore

Em
Come take a swing at me, I dare you
  Cmaj7
I might not be strong , but I can scare you
     G                                   A
With all of this venom dripping from my tongue
               Em
And I’m just begun to reveal my darkest secrets
Cmaj7
I’m not like you, yes I could keep them
    G                                        A
But as I explode , I feel I’ve lost all the weight
              Em
And it feels great to release this sandstone feeling
Cmaj7
Look at my skin, it shed, it’s peeling
      G                               A
You should be afraid of what is underneath

                          Em
Cause I know it don’t want peace
                       Cmaj7
No, I know it don’t want peace
                        G
And I know it just won’t sleep
                   A
And it looks just like me

     Em
Oh, what you gonna say about me now?
                            Cmaj7
What you gonna say about me now?
The demons are coming
The demons are coming
G
What you gonna say about me now?
                             A
What you gonna say about me now?
The demons are coming
The demons...

Em
Yes I’m a cheat, yes I’m a liar
Cmaj7
Yes I’m a victim of desire
         G                               A
So give me your flesh, cause I’m a carnivore…
