Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
Most of the shingles [Em]are gone
There's a couple still hanging on
Like an old man's tooth
The third house in with the weeds
and the limbs and all the
Broken glass and other
people's [Esus4]trash
[Em]The windows are all busted out
You can slip your way carefully in
Even stand inside the tape
And lay in the shape of her
[Esus4]chalk out[Em]line

[Verse 2]
[C]Monsters are men that the [E]devil gets in
And [F]even he gets so [C]bored sometimes
Climbs from his hole,
oh [Em]the deep [E]dark be[Em]low
[E]To ent[F]ertain himself awh[C]ile
To [F]entertain himself [Em]awhile

[Verse 3]
[Em]He puts on the body and clothes of someone
you think you [Esus4]know[A]
[Em]And you step into those hands
like a horse in quicksand
You find yourself screaming
your way to the end
That's what [Am]happened to Alicia
[Em]

[Verse 4]
She was [C]dancin' wide
[Em]Tilting from the wine,
[E]dark [F]hair in diamond [C]shine
Lonely and bruised,
gettin' [Em]over [E]being used
It's [F]usually the weak ones he [C]finds
It's [F]usually the weak ones he [Em]finds

[Interlude 1]
[Em]

[Verse 5]
And [Em]he wanted her beauty,
that's all he was after
Oh, he'd never seen hips and legs and skin,
oh, arms like hers
And she was dying for some company
They found her some days later
undone and scattered
And right beside her
A straight [A]plane sledge[Em]hammer

[Verse 6]
[Em]
I heard [C]he plays a mean fiddle,
and his [Em]bow's made of [E]bones
And it [F]sounds like your
deepest de[C]sires
Lonely and bruised,
gettin' [Em]over [E]being used
It's [F]usually the weak ones he [C]finds
It's [F]usually the weak ones he [Em]finds

[Outro 1]
[Em]
