D# Bm Gm F
which you'll need if no one's going to visit you
D# {stagger through} Bm D#
Animal, [fucking animal]

[Riff #3]-till end
i know who you're waiting for

no one's coming though

[ D# B Gm F]-till end

so fuck you and your principals
and fuck whatever made me
perhaps you think i'm evil
perhaps you think i'm crazy
