Intro: Amaj7 B Amaj7 B

Verse 1:
Amaj7                                    B
You said those words and suddenly, I'm five
                                                     Amaj7
And boys are bringin' bugs just to kill them for my eyes
                                          B
And I can see their hunger, lookin' for a sign
                                                Amaj7
That any of their destruction has me sufferin' inside

Pre-chorus:
             Abm                      Amaj7
You take such delight in killin' my light

Chorus:
E                                       Abm
If I don't make a sound, does it even hurt?
                                                  E
I'm bending to the ground just to pick up little worms
                                                 Abm
And I have seen you relish such violence with a joy
                                                   A
That I've only seen before in the eyes of little boys
Am                             A
Discovering their power for the first time
B
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Verse 2:
Amaj7                                  B
You kissed me so hard I had a grazed chin
                                Amaj7
I saw your eyes spark at the breaking
                                         B
And in them, I see hunger, lookin' for a sign
                                               Amaj7
That any of your destruction had me sufferin' inside

Pre-chorus:
             Abm                      Amaj7
It fills you with light to take away mine

Chorus:
E                                                       Abm
At the cutting of your tongue, all I hear is shredding wings
                                               E
Before me is a man who cares not for little things
                                               Abm
And now I have my answer from when I wondered who
                                                   A
Those little boys became because they grew up to be you
              Am                            E
You've been playing with your power for a long time
Abm       E          Abm     A
         a long time

Post-chorus:
              Am                            Amaj7            B
You've been playing with your power for a long time
