Key: Am

Verse 1:
Am
Once upon a time
  C
Inside a simple place
      F
Where all the girls and boys
      Dm             E
Had a smile on their face
          Am
There was happiness to spare
       C
Before chaos filled the air
F
Before they looked deformed
Dm                E
Before when I was born

Verse 2:
  Am
I open up my eyes
      C
And I meet some good old friends
         F
Got some looks, but not surprised
              Dm             E
I looked more different back then
    Am
Everything seemed normal
     C
More tangible more simple
          F
Then that virus came around
      Dm                   E
Blood shed at the speed of sound

Pre-Chorus 1:
            Am
That man he took away my friends
          C
I need to act just to survive
    F
Buildings began to crumble
      Dm            E
As he opened up the sky
    Am
The star now in his hands
             C
That man can do all that he plans
           F
So he said on your knees, beg for mercy
N.C.
Disgusting freak of nature

Chorus 1:
Am
Oh please spare me, please have mercy
C
I’ll be the best servant, you’ll see
F
I’ve pretended long enough
    Dm            E
The act is coming off
Am
Please don’t hurt me, just don’t kill me
C
I’ll do anything you please
F
Surely I can be enough
    Dm            E
The act is coming off

Post-Chorus:
Am          C
La da da da
C
La da da da
F           Dm
La da da da
Dm     E
La da da da

Verse 3:
                Am
Seems like I’ve put myself in chains
         C
From the guilt held on my shoulders
   F
Shower myself in pain
           Dm            E
After I’ve killed family members
    Am
The lives that I have ended
        C
Are the highest in the numbers
      F
Yet I don’t regret that my plans have worked
  Dm             E
I did it all for reasons

Pre-Chorus 2:
     Am
He’d take away our freedom
         C
Would’ve taken all our lives
         F
Half the family would be gone
          Dm      E
When will anybody realize
Am
Everything I do
           C
Is not for sentimental gain
     F
I’m aware I do deserve it
         N.C.
It’s all self-inflicted pain

Chorus 2:
Am
Do not spare me, have no mercy
C
Take out your anger on me
F
I’ve pretended long enough
    Dm            E
The act is coming off.
   Am
Go on and hurt me, please just kill me
C
I’m your punching bag with feet
F
I’ve been through quite enough
    Dm            E
The act is coming off

Bridge:
        Am
I don't care
                   C
How long you wanna hurt me
     F
Just give me all your hits
Dm         E
I can take it
        Am
I don't care
                         C
That you don't think I'm sorry
    F
I’m nothing like him
    Dm           E
I’m nothing like him
