  Verse 1:
    Em                                             G
There's an old man living in the back of you woods tonight.

       D                                     A
You forgot he was even there, but you've never slipped his mind.

  Em                                              G
He's living off of scraps of you, you never knew you left behind.

             D                                      A
And as the sun goes down, he rises with a smile.

   Chorus:
  A                               C

But you don's see the writing on the wall.

                               C
He'll never step out in the light;

                      G
No he's just biding time.

                  D                                   B
And while you slumber, hes gonna come and take it all.

   Verse 2:
 Em                                                G
He knows you have the answers but truth lies dusty on your shelf.

           D                                                    A
And the sword that you could slay him with has become an ornament


and nothing else.
  Em
You could put him back down in his hole in the ground,

           G
But he knows you never will.

             D                                     A
He's been around so long, you got used to the smell.

But you don's see the writing on the wall.

No he's just biding time.

   Bridge:
                  C                                   Em
He knows he'll never have your soul, but he will gladly rob you blind.

              D                                    A
While you feasting at his table he'll tie you hands and numb you mind.

                  C                                             Em
He'll take you farther than you want to go, he'll keep you longer

                                     D
Than you wan to stay.  And it will cost you

                                     A
More than you'd ever thought you'd pay.
