🎸 Intro:
C#m



🎸 Verse:
C#m
In the wealthiest sections a killer complexion
C#m
Is often a great alibi
C#m
Valentino couture mixed with violence and gore
C#m
Well, I guess I’m a pretty sick guy

C#m
With my beauty routines and a fridge full of spleens
C#m                  N.C.      C#m
Some might say it’s extreme, but it’s time to say goodbye


🎸 Chorus:
   A        E
So to hell with good intentions
   G#         C#m
So to hell is where I’ll go
    A       E
But the Devil makes exceptions
     G#     C#m

But why? - I have to return some video tapes

You’ll find no escape once you’re captured on tape

I’m aware it’s a bit avant-garde
C#m
Casually cleaving without ever grieving
C#m
But wait, let me give you my card  (That’s bone!)

C#m
There is no real me just this dark entity
               N.C.      C#m
That cannot be redeemed so it’s time to say goodbye

   A        E

Do you like Ice Nine Kills?
   Fm     F# Fm G#              C#
Not Really  Their early work was a little bit too “scene” for me
       Fm     F# Fm  G#           C#         Fm F# Fm       G#
But when ‘The Silver Scream’ came out I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically
     C#             Fm F# Fm     G#       N.C.
The whole album has a refined melodic sensibility that really makes it a cut above the rest…

Eric, hello
C#m
As my lawyer you know
C#m
I’m psychotic, but I’ve crossed the line
C#m
I killed Drew, Chris and Mike, stabbed Jose with a Knife
C#m     F#m    E     G#        C#m
But I don’t think I’m gonna get away with it this time

🎸 Chorus:
  A        E
To hell with good intentions

To hell is where I’ll go
