Verse:
C
my dewy-eyed disney bride, what has tried
Am
swapping your blood with formaldehyde?
G
monsters?
C
whiskey-plied voices cried fratricide!
Am
jesus don't you know that you could've died, you should've died
G C
with the monsters that talk, monsters that walk the earth
Chorus:
Am C
and she's got red lipstick and a bright pair of shoes
G Am
and she's got knee high socks, what to cover a bruise
F C
she's got an old death kit she's been meaning to use
G Am
she's got blood in her eyes, in her eyes for you
F G C
she's got blood.. in her eyes for you
(then part of the g riff comes in a bit before the actual riff)

G C

C
my dewy-eyed disney bride, what has tried
Am
swapping your blood with formaldehyde?
G C
what monsters that talk, monsters that walk the earth
Chorus:
Am C
and she says i like long walks and sci-fi movies
G Am
if you're six foot tall and east coast bred
F C
some lonely night we can get together
G Am
and i'm gonna tie your wrists with leather
F G C
and drill a tiny hole into your head
F G
I'm gonna drill a tiny hole.. into your
C Riff x3
