Capo 4th fret
[Intro]
Em G Am G
[Verse 1]
Em
I think I'm in despair, the wind is in the trees
G
Basically, just waiting for something to come along and eat me
Am
Is this future's gate, where my dreams retreat
G
And all my memories are just memories of memories?
Em
And a-folded in a dream, pitch-black and glowing blue
G
A raven saying, “I know a way that I can help you”
Am
Oh-oh, I stared into his eyes, I saw my pale last days
G
Said, “What you can't escape, you gotta embrace”
[Chorus 1]
Em G
Ah-oh, I know a way to get back, this don't have to end
Am G
A way to get back, and haunt them, haunt them, haunt them
Em G Am G
[Verse 2]
Em
Then he wished me plain, as he flew away
G
Said I'd see him coming on that pale last day
Am
And he wished me plain, ordinary death
G
Said he'd be back after I escaped it
[Chorus 2]
G
Oh, I've seen how they are, how they'd all sell their souls
Em Em/F# Em
In little bits and pieces, ‘til they get old
G
They don't make a dent, in indifference
Em Em/F# Em
We'll haunt them, haunt them, haunt them
[Musical Interlude]
[Chorus 3]
Em G
But I want to go back, if this is the end
Am G
I want to go back, not to “haunt them, haunt them, haunt them”
Em G
Not to haunt them, haunt them
Am G
Not to haunt them, haunt, haunt
Em G
Haunt them, haunt them
