    D MajorD      A augmentedA
Here at home in this steeple
    D MajorD            G+G
Made of chrome, above a city of steel
      D MajorD     A augmentedA
I've chosen bats over people
    D MajorD         G+G         D MajorD   A augmentedA
'Cos I never did like the way humans made me feel

    D MajorD          A augmentedA
So we sleep all day and we rise at night
    D MajorD                 G+G
And we spread our wings and take into the skies
       D MajorD          A augmentedA
And when the people all stop and stare
     D MajorD           G+G
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
    D MajorD            A augmentedA             D MajorD   A augmentedA
I just look them in the eye and tell them I was raised by bats

      D MajorD      A augmentedA
When I was young, I was feeble
    D MajorD             G+G
And it stung when they pushed me down
     D MajorD       A augmentedA
I was so hated by these people
    D MajorD       A augmentedA                 D MajorD   A augmentedA
That I knew I had to do what I could to get out of that town

   D MajorD        A augmentedA
So I ran away to this sacred place
    D MajorD              G+G
And was taken in by creatures of the night
       D MajorD         A augmentedA
Now when the people all stop and stare
     D MajorD             G+G
And say, "Why you gotta dress like that?"
    D MajorD            A augmentedA             D MajorD
I just look them in the eye and tell them I was raised by bats
     D MajorD          A augmentedA
When the people all stop and stare
     D MajorD           G+G
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
    D MajorD            A augmentedA             D MajorD   A augmentedA
I just look them in the eye and tell them I was raised by bats

D MajorD          A augmentedA
Those dark days seem far away
   G+G     A augmentedA
I've risen to a better place
  D MajorD       A augmentedA         G+G
So do like me, follow the dream like that
   D MajorD          A augmentedA           D MajorD
Just throw your old life away and get raised by bats

D MajorD  A augmentedA  D MajorD  G+G  D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD

   D MajorD          A augmentedA
So we sleep all day and we rise at night
    D MajorD                 G+G
And we spread our wings and take into the skies
     D MajorD           A augmentedA
We do it all our way, live our lives like that
       D MajorD                 G+G
'Cos there's no one here to fill our heads with lies

       D MajorD          A augmentedA
And when the people all stop and stare
     D MajorD           G+G
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
     D MajorD          A augmentedA
When the people all stop and stare
     D MajorD             G+G
And say, "Why you gotta dress like that?"
     D MajorD          A augmentedA
When the people all stop and stare
     D MajorD           G+G
And say, "Why you gotta be like that?"
    D MajorD              A augmentedA
I just punch them in the eye and I bite them on the thigh
   D MajorD               G+G
And I kick them in the ass where the sun don't shine
 D MajorD            A augmentedA             D MajorD   A augmentedA
I look them in the eye and tell them I was raised by bats
    D MajorD            A augmentedA             D MajorD
I just look them in the eye and tell them I was raised by bats
        G+G
I was raised by bats
       A augmentedA D MajorD
I was raised by bats


D MajorD  A augmentedA  D MajorD  G+G  D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD G+G D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
