Played in standard tuning, and with almost everything barred. Open chords can work,
but don't sound properly harsh in my opinion. Somewhere between a powerchord and the full barre works
best.

Intro: Em-F5 x4
Verse 1:
Em A I was not there for rehearsal, I don't need it anymore F#m G F#m When I show up just in time to pop you can clear the goddamn floor Em A Empty out the locker room, let me find my space F#m G B Let him who thinks he knows no fear look well upon my face
Chorus 1:
Em D5 Nameless bodies - in unremembered rooms C5 Em C5 D5 Em Know how a man becomes a beast when the wolfbane blooms
Verse 2, same as the first:
Em A Sail past all the grasping hands, floodlights white and hot F#m G F#m Bring my vision into focus, find out what I've got Em A Some sniveling local babyface with an angle he can't sell F#m G B5 Full werewolf off the buckle, like an angel straight from hell
Chorus 2:
Em D5 Nameless bodies - in unremembered rooms C5 Em C5 D5 Em Run howling through the carnage when the wolfbane blooms
Bridge:
F Em Half the city sound asleep and safe inside their beds D5 C5 G B Get lost inside my thoughts and nearly tear his face to shreds
Verse 3:
Em A Blood pooling on the canvas as the atmosphere gets hushed F#m G F#m Bring your heroes to the wolf den - watch them all get crushed Em A Get told to maybe dial it back, backstage later on F#m G B5 Everyone still in this building right now, dead before the dawn
Final Chorus:
Chorus 2:
Em D5 Nameless bodies - in unremembered rooms C5 G B5 Em The pure at heart go putrid when the wolfbane blooms
