🎸 Verse 1:
   E minorEm
Your mama is a werewolf with long, sharp teeth
D MajorD   C majorC
 I'm up all night when the world should sleep
  G+G
I curse the darkness when it's killin' time
     D MajorD
I got a river of fear runnin' through my mind
     E minorEm
When the moon shines through those parting clouds
  C majorC
I hear the call and I howl out loud
  G+G
I stalk the streets where the shadows lie
    D MajorD
And I pray to God that that sun will rise
C majorC        E minorEm
But that sun don't always rise

   E minorEm
When I wake and, and I'm reborn
   C majorC
My body aches and my soul is torn
  G+G
I search the void for any clues
    D MajorD
And I feel ashamed for what I've put you through
   E minorEm
This curse a gift from my father's kin
    C majorC
They fought the beast I feel within
       G+G
But we don't talk about it and we don't call its name
     D MajorD
We just carry on, hopin' it'll change

But we know it'll never change
