 Delilah played the dead girl at the freak show,

 She smiles like a ghost, 

      Gsh             Ash        G
 like zombies eatin' dust in mexico.

 C                 Gsh        G         C
 Life dries cold beneath the dead soul lights

 Gsh    G
 Ye  -  ah.

 G                             Gsh  F          G
 She asked if it would hurt, I smiled and said no,

     Gsh             Ash            G
 The lie ran down my chin like embryo

 Gsh        Ash     G
 She smiles like a corpse,

      Gsh             Ash        G
 like zombies eatin' dust in mexico.

 Then comes this section.

 Ash                     F
 I been dryin' in a dead age,

                           G
 I been reekin' of the new plague,

                            Dsh
 The sound of the ocean is dead, 

                                        Ash
 Its just the echo of the blood in your head,

 Ash                     F
 Sister burn the temple,

                       G
 And stand beneath the moon,

 The sound of the ocean is dead,

                                        Ash
 Its just the echo of the blood in your head,

 
                    Fsh
 Ah          -      Ah

                     Gsh
 Yeah   Yeah   Ye Ye Ye-ah!
 
                     Ash
 Burnin' your black flags.
