Voltaire – Raised By Bats (Guitar)

        D            A
Here at home in this steeple

        D                       G
Made of chrome, above a city of steel

            D         A
I've chosen bats over people

       D                  G                  D     A
'Cos I never did like the way humans made me feel

       D                   A
So we sleep all day and we rise at night

       D                                  G
And we spread our wings and take into the skies

             D                   A
And when the people all stop and stare

         D                      G
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"

       D                        A                         D      A
I just look them in the eye and tell them I was raised by bats

           D            A
When I was young, I was feeble

       D                         G
And it stung when they pushed me down

         D              A
I was so hated by these people

       D             A                                  D     A
That I knew I had to do what I could to get out of that town

     D                A
So I ran away to this sacred place

        D                            G
And was taken in by creatures of the night

              D                  A
Now when the people all stop and stare

         D                         G
And say, "Why you gotta dress like that?"

       D                        A                         D
I just look them in the eye and tell them I was raised by bats

         D                   A
When the people all stop and stare

         D                      G
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"

       D                        A                         D     A
I just look them in the eye and tell them I was raised by bats

D                    A
Those dark days seem far away

     G          A
I've risen to a better place

   D              A                  G
So do like me, follow the dream like that

     D                   A                      D
Just throw your old life away and get raised by bats

      D                    A
So we sleep all day and we rise at night

       D                                  G
And we spread our wings and take into the skies

         D                     A
We do it all our way, live our lives like that

             D                                  G
'Cos there's no one here to fill our heads with lies

             D                   A
And when the people all stop and stare

         D                      G
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"

         D                   A
When the people all stop and stare

         D                         G
And say, "Why you gotta dress like that?"

         D                   A
When the people all stop and stare

         D                      G
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"

       D                           A
I just punch them in the eye and I bite them on the thigh

      D                              G
And I kick them in the ass where the sun don't shine

  D                        A                         D     A
I look them in the eye and tell them I was raised by bats

       D                        A                         D
I just look them in the eye and tell them I was raised by bats

                G
I was raised by bats

             A  D
I was raised by bats
