Book Seven, Chapter Ten:
N.C.
The tale of pearl & the pusher, and the subway driver and the photograph
[Verse 1]
N.C.
Pearl stood on the platform
N.C.
Playing a game on her phone
N.C.
Trying to beat the boss at the end of the level
N.C.
And there's a man on the platform
N.C.
Screaming about the apocalypse
Bmmaj7 And behind her Bmmaj7 Under the raving Bmmaj7 She heard the echo of a footstep Bmmaj7 And beneath me Bmmaj7 Under the raving Bmmaj7 I heard a footstep
N.C.
In the house
N.C.
In the game
N.C.
On the platform
[Verse 2]
N.C.
Pearl stood on the platform
N.C.
Playing a game on her phone
N.C.
Trying to beat the boss at the end of the level
N.C.
And the boss was a bear
N.C.
A graet big bear
N.C.
How will you defeat him?
N.C.
Pearl went to the option menu
N.C.
Selected the silver sword
N.C.
And there's a man on the platform
N.C.
Screaming about the train coming
N.C.
Pearl raised the silver sword
N.C.
Struck the bear in his side
N.C.
And the bear shrieked
Gm6 A shriek so harsh and horrid and piercing Bmmaj7 And behind me Bmmaj7 Under the raving Bmmaj7 I heard a shrieking Bmmaj7 Our little girl Cdim7 Bbdim7 This has all happened before!

[Verse 3]
N.C.
Pearl stood on the platform
N.C.
Battling the bear
N.C.
The bear breathed fire
N.C.
The bear had acid in his honeypot
N.C.
The train was coming
N.C.
And the train was coming
N.C.
And the train was coming
N.C.
And the train was coming...
N.C.
And the man on the platform
N.C.
Screaming about the apocalypse
N.C.
The man we know as the pusher
N.C.
Took a last drink
N.C.
Steeled himself
N.C.
Got behind pearl
N.C.
And he got behind pearl
N.C.
And the pusher couldn't help himself
N.C.
And the pusher pushed pearl onto the subway track
N.C.
Pushed me into the path of the screaming train!
