^Fmaj7Sometimes it's dark in my ^G6/Dhead ^Fmaj7Sometimes I give up the light ^G6/Dfor the monsters under my bed ^Fmaj7And they feast on my t^G6/Dhoughts And ^Fmaj7they're well fed ^G6/D ^Fmaj7Communication is hell ^G6/D ^Fmaj7Get tired of checking the ^G6/Dmail, tired of checking myself ^Fmaj7You bet I'll be in the r^G6/Ding when you ^Fmaj7ring the bell ^G6/D

[Chorus]

^AmBut if I let it ^Cout (Let it out) ^DmVibrations in the ^Fthroat can convey more than just ^Amsound (Sound) It's the ^Cidea (Idea) That'll ^Ecut you up and cut you down

(Cut you up and cut you down)

^AmBut if I let it ^Cout (Let it out) ^DmIt's not just ^Fyou versus the verbs and the ^Amnouns It's the ^Cintent (Intent) That'll ^Ffuck you up now It'll ^Dmfuck you up again and again
