Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D][Em][D]
[Em]Be[Bm]
[D]fore I even learned to play a [Em]note,
I was on stage
[D]Mastering the art of selling
myself at a [C]young age
[D]Fear and insecurity [C]drove
[D]me like a Maserati
High school was like showing
up at a costume party
I was a comedian, [Em]an athlete
A golden boy, a [Bm]black sheep
Whatever I had to be to make the
[D]world throw candy at me
And col[Em]lege was the same act,
different [Bm]play
It [D]was October 31st every day
And the real world was
[Em]an all too familiar street
[Bm]Another trick, another treat

[Verse 2]
Then I [D]knock- knock-
[Em]knocked on your [Bm]door
Every mask I ever wore
[D]Shattered like gla[Em]ss on the[Bm] floor
And it was like
[D]Halloween

[Verse 3]
ended
[Em]To all the people I pret[Bm]ended to be
Rest [D]in peace, rest in [Em]peace,
rest in [Bm]peace
Halloween [D]ended
[Em]To all the people I pr[Bm]e tended to be
Rest in [D]peace, rest in [Em]peace,
rest in [Bm]peace

[Verse 4]
Hell, I don't [D]know why I'm like this
But what would it [Em]change if I knew
Maybe my [Bm]parents messed
up
But, hey, they're just
dressed up [D]kids too
Maybe I guess what I'm trying
[Em]to say is I love you
For [Bm]be ing somebody I'm not ashamed
to introduce [D]my skeletons to
I still put on my [Em]Superman cape
and hide [Bm]in it
But when I'm with you
it comes untied for a minute
[D]Hits the ground in the sha[Em]dow of your skin
[Bm]For the first time I was
comfortable in mine

[Verse 5]
When I [D]knock- knock-
[Em]knocked on your [Bm]door
Every mask I ever wore
[D]Shattered like gla[Em]ss on the flo[Bm]or
It was like

[Verse 6]
Halloween [D]ended
[Em]To all the people I pr[Bm]e tended to be
Rest in [D]peace, rest in [Em]peace,
rest in [Bm]peace
Halloween [D]ended
[Em]To all the people I pret[Bm]ended to be
Rest in [D]peace, rest in [Em]peace,
rest [Bm]in peace

[Verse 7]
When I [D]knock- knock-
[Em]knocked on your [Bm]door
Every mask I ever [D]wore
Shattered like [Em]glass on the [Bm]floor
When I [D]knock- knock- [Em]knocked on your door
(when I [Bm]knocked on your door)
Every mask I ever wore
[D]Shattered like gla[Em]ss on the flo[Bm]or
It was like

[Verse 8]
Halloween [D]ended
To all the people I pretended [Bm]to be
[Em]Rest in pe[Bm]ace, rest in peace,[Em]
rest [Bm]in pe[Em]ace
[D]Halloween ended
[Em]To all the people I pr[Bm]e tended to be
Rest in [D]peace, rest in [Em]peace,
rest in [Bm]peace

[Verse 9]
Halloween [D]ended (when I knock- knock-
[Em]knocked on your door)
To all the people I pre[Bm]tended to be
[D]Halloween ended (rest in
peace, rest in peace)
Rest in [Em]peace (when I knock- knock- knocked
[Bm]on your door)
Halloween ended [D](when I knock- knock-
knocked [Bm]on your door)
To all the people I pretended to be
Halloween ended (rest in peace,
rest in [Em]peace) (when I knock- knock- knocked [Bm]on your door)
Rest in peace
