Am7 G
Sympathy,
F C
this is my best disguise.
Am7 G
My skin stepped out for my bones to dry up,
F C Am7 G
for the rest of the world outside...to see.
F C
You see I bleed on the side
Am7 G
It's a part time thing, a private affair
F C
I try to keep it out of the light.
Am7 C F
I must confess, I didn't recognize you tonight
Am7 C F
Dressed up like my love.
Am7 G
And I hate these things but I always attend,
F C
a little sip of something to take off the edge.
Am7 G
And I make my way through the ghosts in the room,
F C
trying to crack a smile.

Am7 G
And who you supposed to be?
F C
You look like heaven tonight
Am7 G
And me I'm a tomb, a corpse in a suit,
F C
trying to look a little alive.
Am7
Are you alright?
C F
I worry sometimes,
Am7 C F
are you dressed up to take my life?
Am7 C
Keep it coming,
F
keep it coming,
Am7 C
Keep it coming,
F
Keep it coming.
C
And I think I saw you for the flash of a moment,
F
Your broken heart and the body that holds it
C
I lost your scent in the flash of the party.
F
The big bright lights, baby, constantly haunt me.
C
I've never been right, have you ever been lied to?
F
I think I just saw the same scars upon you.
C F
But is this a disguise? A masquerade for me?
Am7 F
Keep it coming,
C G
Keep it coming,
Am7 F
Keep it coming,
C G
Keep it coming,
Am7 F
And who you supposed to be?
C G
Hey you look just like my love.
Am7 F
And who you supposed to be?
C G
Are you dressed just like my love?
Am7 F
And who you supposed to be?
C G
Hey you look just like my love.
Am7 F
And who you supposed to be?
C G C
Are you dressed just like my love for Halloween?
