Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
Am E  Am  Am E  Am
Am E  Am  Am E  Am

Verse 1:
   Am                 Fmaj7    E
The white hand in the darkened house
Dm                C6                          Am             E  Am
Rings a bell that makes the guests drop their cases in fright
  Am                    Fmaj7 E
A face that seems to laugh alone
Dm                      C6              Am                 E  Am
Sits in the flames that warm the frozen stretches of night
Bridge 1:
    C                         Dm
The skeleton that smokes, his head half guillotined
   E                            F
Sits there telling jokes, about places he has cleaned

Chorus:
      C             G
How's tricks? How's tricks?
     Bb        F            Am    E  Am  Am E  Am
What kicks! It sticks! Loud ticks

Verse 2:
   Am               Fmaj7   E
The bow tie and the question mark
   Dm                C6                         Am          E  Am
Set sail to beat the cards that rain around the chorus girls
    Am                 Fmaj7 E
The bullets from the golden gun
  Dm          C6                               Am    E  Am
Appear to penetrate the flesh below the golden curls

Bridge 2:
  C                                Dm
Inside the clear white box, lies a nervous bathing belle
    E                                 F
She hope's he'll find the locks, that free her from the world

Chorus:
      C             G
How's tricks? How's tricks?
     Bb        F            Am   E  Am  Am E  Am
What kicks! It sticks! Loud ticks

Verse 3:
   Am               Fmaj7  E
The rabbit with the faded smile
  Dm                 C6                   Am           E  Am
Is listening to the artist playing in the mirrored room
   Am            Fmaj7  E
The albums of forgotten songs
     Dm           C6                                    Am    E  Am
Grow dusty in the floodlit shelves somewhere below the moon

Bridge 3:
C                           D
Owls sit on the letters, of his last name in lights
E                             F
 Demons and pacesetters, they laugh into the night

Chorus:
      C             G
How's tricks? How's tricks?
     Bb        F
What kicks! It sticks!
      C             G
How's tricks? How's tricks?
     Bb        F
What kicks! It sticks!
      C             G
How's tricks? How's tricks?
     Bb        F
What kicks! It sticks!
      C             G
How's tricks? How's tricks?
     Bb        F
What kicks! It sticks!
