Serpents Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Don't get too [F]close
That place is [Am]haunted
Fear not the ghost[F]s
'Cause she sent [Am]them [G]running

[Verse 2]
[F]She sleeps beneath the[Am] surface[G]
[F]Consorting with the[Am] serp[G]ents[F]
She strikes [Am]without a pur[G]pose[F]
[Am]

[Verse 3]
A dark face in a corridor
Deceptively beautiful
She's [C]watching you
She's in everything you [G]do[Dm]
[Am]Her kiss it tastes so sweet
But left me with a lethargy
I [C]couldn't shake,
I made a grave [G]mistake[Dm]

[Verse 4]
[Am]I gave her my heart,
she didn't want it
[F]Took it anyway and put a dark spell on it
[C]Since then I haven't been the [G]same
[Am]Needed a victim and she got it
[F]Took me in with her song,
powerless to stop it
[C]Some men don't dare to speak her
[G]nam[C]e

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][Am][F]

[Verse 5]
[Am]She picked me up from my decline
[F]Healed my wounds with love and[Am] wine
Dosed me up and closed my eye[F]s
A taste of poison
[Am]She gave me all that I desired[F]
Sung the songs of angel [Am]choirs
Preached the words of death
[F]and fire and left me burning

[Verse 6]
[Am]I gave her my heart,
she didn't want it
[F]Took it anyway and put a dark spell on it
[C]Since then I haven't been the [G]same
[Am]Needed a victim and she got it
[F]Took me in with her song,
powerless to stop it
[C]Some men don't dare to speak
[G]her [C]name
[Am]

[Verse 7]
[F]
She sleeps beneath the [C]surface
[G]Consorting wit[C]h the ser[Am]pents[F]
She strikes without a [C]purpose

[Outro 1]
