Dm               C9      
His father was a drinker 
        ​Am               F    Dm
And his mother cried in bed
                     C9       
Folding John Wayne's t-shirts 
         Am               F      Dm
When the swingset hit his head
                    C9
The neighbors they adored him
        Am            F              Dm
For his humor and his conversation
                    C9
Look underneath the house there
         Am                 
Find the few living things
        F
Rotting fast, in their sleep
       Dm
Oh, the dead
             C9
Twenty-seven people
     Am                    
Even more, they were boys
           F
With their cars, summer jobs
      Dm   C9  Am
Oh my God
        F              Dm
Are you one of them?
                  C9
He dressed up like a clown for them
         Am                   F     Dm
With his face paint white and red
                  C9
And on his best behavior
     Am               F   
In a dark room on the bed 
               Dm
He kissed them all
                       C9
He'd kill ten thousand people
       Am                          F    
With a slight of his hand, running far
                    Dm
Running fast to the dead
                      C9
He took off all their clothes for them
         Am                         F    
He put a cloth on their lips, quiet hands
                  Dm    C9  Am  F  Dm
Quiet kiss on the mouth
                 C9
And in my best behavior
     Am               F     Dm
I am really just like him
                 C9
Look beneath the floor boards
        Am             F
For the secrets I have hid
