[Intro] D5 E5 x2 [Verse 1]
D5 E5
I    live in the flat next door

          G5                  Gmaj7
And I can hear you fuck your girlfriend through the wall
D5 E5 D5 E5 G5 E5 D5 E5
E5
But the only thing we share

       G5                      Gmaj7
Is the slightest nod as we're passing on the stairs
D5 E5 D5 E5 G5 E5 D5 E5
A#maj7                 Bm7
But behind the closed doors

    Cmaj7                C#m7
The bees were buzzing inciting me to war
E5 E5/B E5/C
A#maj7               Bm7
You're penitent, maybe

         Cmaj7            C#m7
But it's really not your fault you fail to see
E5 E5/B E5/C x2 [Chorus]
B5 D5              E5
 We   who eat the darkness
E5 E5/B E5/C x2
B5 D5              E5
 We   who eat the darkness
E5 E5/B E5/C x2

D5 E5 [Verse 2]
E5
I take out the trash at night

       G5               Gmaj7
And on Thursday's I go shopping for supplies
D5 E5 D5 E5 G5 E5 D5 E5
E5
I walk my son to school

      G5                Gmaj7
And I seem to have the same problems as you
D5 E5 D5 E5 G5 E5 D5 E5
A#maj7             Bm7
But what you will see

        Cmaj7              C#m7
Are the threads of what I want you to believe
E5 E5/B E5/C
A#maj7                   Bm7
And all that you hold dear

   Cmaj7              C#m7
Is under threat from someone all too near
E5 E5/B E5/C x2 [Chorus]
B5 D5              E5
 We   who eat the darkness
E5 E5/B E5/C x2
B5 D5              E5
 We   who eat the darkness
E5 E5/B E5/C x2

D5 E5 [Bridge]
Am          Dm9
  Well, you lost control

         Em             Fmaj7 Cmaj13 Fmaj7
And your kids became confused

Am         Dm9
  Among the powder kegs

     Em              Fmaj7 Cmaj13 Fmaj7
With nothing left to lose

Am   Dm9
  So now your chickens

    Em             Dsus2
Are coming home to roost

[Verse 2]
E5
Do you think the fight is real?

       G5                 Gmaj7
Do you feel my teeth are snapping at your heels?
D5 E5 D5 E5 G5 E5 D5 E5
E5
You who tell me how to live

        G5                 Gmaj7
And you feed me with your poison 'til I'm sick
D5 E5 D5 E5 G5 E5 D5 E5
A#maj7                  Bm7
Pretend that we're not here

       Cmaj7           C#m7
If you look the other way we disappear
E5 E5/B E5/C
A#maj7                  Bm7
We want you to ignore

    Cmaj7           C#m7
