Intro
Em - C - G - D  x3 

Em      C      G            D
 I'm surrounded, each doorway covered
Em  C      G       D
 By at least twenty men
Em               C       G           D
 they're going to take me, throw me in prison
Em C           G    D
 I ain't coming back again
Em C           G    D
 I ain't coming back again

Em         C       G              D
 When I was younger, handsomer and stronger
Em           C       G       D
 I felt like I could do anything
Em                C      G                D
 But all of these people making all these faces
Em      C           G         D 
 Didn't seem like my kith and kin
Em     C            G         D
 Didn't seem like my kith and kin

Em     C      G         D
 Colin Kincaid from the twelfth grade
Em                C      G       D
 I guess you could say he was my best friend
Em          C              G       D
 Lived in a big tall house out on Westfall
Em             C             G           D
 Where we would hide when the rain rolled in
Em              C            G           D
 Where we would hide when the rain rolled in

Em           C             G         D
 We went out one night and took a flashlight
Em              C               G                 D
 Out with these two girls Colin knew from Kenwood Christian
Em             C      G                D
 One was named Laurie, that's what the story
Em    C                G     D
 Said next week in the Guardian
Em    C                G     D
 Said next week in the Guardian

Em          C         G          D
 And when I killed her it was so easy
Em      C         G           D
 That I wanted to kill her again
Em     C      G             D
 I got down on both of my knees and
Em   C           G       D
 She ain't coming back again
Em   C           G       D
 She ain't coming back again

Em         C        G                       D
 Now, with all these cameras focused on my face
Em     C               G                   D
 You'd think they could see it through my skin
Em       C                G                       D
 They're looking for evil, thinking they can trace it, but
Em         C         G       D
 Evil don't look like anything
Em         C         G       D
 Evil don't look like anything

Em         C         G       D
 Evil don't look like anything
Em         C         G       D
 Evil don't look like anything
Em         C         G       D
 Evil don't look like anything
Em         C         G       D
 Evil don't look like anything

Em         C         G       D
 Evil don't look like anything
Em         C         G       D
 Evil don't look like anything
