[Intro] A#m A#dim (x4) [Verse 1]
A#m
A little mouse creeps as the mighty tomcat sleeps

                 Cdim                       Fm7
He's been up for forty nights, he needs his forty winks

            D#dim                Cdim
To think of all the mischief his teeth did sink

      B
I can nearly taste it

A#m
Some scars heal and practically fade away

      Cdim                   Fm7
While some reveal a past you can't escape

    D#dim            Cdim
And others still are entirely fake

   A#m                   F#aug
So what's it going to be, my long lost brother?

F         G#7
Show your scars

A#m                 F#aug
Are you going to be my long lost brother

F
After all?

A#m                 F#aug
I don't really need a long lost brother

F          G#7
Tearing me apart
[Pre-Chorus] F#(barred) G#(barred) Let's start knocking them nine lives off [Chorus]
A#m                  D#m                F#
I know what you are, I know what you're doing

A#m                  D#m    F#         F
I know what this is, it's a bloodletting
A#m A#dim (x4) [Verse 2]
A#m
When the cat's away, it's said the mouse will play

        Cdim                  Fm
Oh, but this little mouse was brainwashed to behave

        D#dim                              Cdim
Now the cat's out of the bag and someone's got to pay

B
Here kitty kitty

A#m
All my life I've been made to do what's right

      Cdim                    Fm
Well, all my life is going to end tonight

    D#dim                   Cdim
And you my pet are my first sacrifice

A#m                          F#aug
So what's it going to be, my long lost brother?

F
Pass or fail

A#m                    F#aug
Are you going to be my long lost brother?

F
Heads or tails

A#m            F#aug
I never really had a brother

       F
But it doesn't hurt to be double sure
[Bridge] A#m D#m F# A#m D#m F# F [Chorus]
A#m             D#m                     F#
I know what you are, I know what you're doing

A#m             D#m         F#         F
I know what this is, it's a bloodletting

A#m             D#m                     F#
I know what you are, I know what you're after

A#m           D#m              F#         F
You're a dead ringer, you're a doppelganger

A#m             D#m                     F#
Kill the demon, kill your doppelganger
(Repeat 4 times) [Outro] A#m D#m F# D
