[Verse C2=x30010]
G                D                           Em
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare the shadow in the background of
      C2                       G         D                             Em
the morgue, the unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley, we can live
                           C2                          G
like Jack and Sally if we want, where you can always find me
                D
and we'll have Halloween on Christmas
     Em                                 C2
And in the night we'll wish this never ends, we'll wish this never ends.

           G        D                 Em                            C2
Where are you, and I'm so sorry, I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight, I
                    G           D                             Em
need somebody and always, this sick strange darkness comes creeping on
                   C2
So haunting every time
                     G
And as I stared I counted
     D
The webs from all the spiders
   Em                                 C2
Catching things and eating their insides
                    G
Like indecision to call you
      D
And hear your voice of treason
      Em                                  C2
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight, stop this pain (tonight)
 
[Chorus x 2]
G                D          Em
Don't waste your time on me
         D         C   
You're already the voice inside my head
G                D       Em
Don't waste your time on me

You're already the voice inside my head
