Deep Dark Below

[Chorus]
F#m
Most of the shingles are gone
F#m
There are a couple still hanging on
F#m
Like an old man's teeth
F#m
Thrid house in, witH the weeds in the limbs
F#m
and all the broken glass and other peoples trash
 
F#m
The windows are all busted out
F#m
You can slip your way carefully in
F#m
even stand inside the tape and lay in the shape of her
F#m
chalk out line
 
[Chorus]
D                         F#
Monsters are men that the devil gets in
    G                D
And even he gets so bored sometimes
D                         F#m
Climbs from his hole, the deep dark below
   G                  D
To entertain himself awhile
   G                 F#m
To entertain himself awhile
 
[Verse]
F#m
He puts on the body and clothes
F#m
Of someone you think you know
F#m
and you step into those hands like a horse in quicksand
F#m
you find yourself screaming your way to the end
F#m
thats what happened to Aleesha
 
[Chorus]
         D             F#               F#m
She was dancing wild, tilting from the wine
     G                 D
dark hair and diamond shine
D                            F#m
lonely and bruised getting over getting used
     G                        D
It's usually the week ones he finds
     G                        F#m
It's usually the week ones he finds
 
[Verse]
F#m
And he wanted her beauty, it was all he was after
F#m
Oh he'd never hips and legs and skin and arms like hers
F#m
and she was dying for some company
F#m
they found her some days later
F#m
undone, scattered and right beside her
F#m
a straight plain, sledge hammer
 
[Chorus]
           D                            F#
I heard he plays a mean fiddle and his bows' made of bones
        G                        D
and it sounds like your deepest desire
 
D                            F#m
lonely and bruised getting over getting used
     G                        D
It's usually the week ones he finds
     G                        F#m
It's usually the week ones he finds
              Most of the shingles are gone
There are a couple still ahnging on
Like an old man's teeth

The windows are all busted out
You can slip your way careful in

Monster are men that the devil gets in
And even he gets so bored sometimes
Climbs from his hole in the deep dark below
To entertain himself awhile
To entertain himself awhile
He puts on the body and clothes
Of someone you think you know
