[Intro]
G6sus4  Em (x3)
F#

[Verse]
G6sus4               Em
It was a close call
G6sus4                     Em
Sitting in the back of the room
                       G6sus4
With a boy  gettin' it on
Em              F#       C
But they didn't know

Em
Closing  on my black eye
   C                  Em     C
Feel safe at times
           Em        C
Certain emblems
        Em           F#
Tell me it's time

[Chorus]
         C              Em      F#
Serpents in my mind
        C           Em       F#
Looking for your crimes
         C          Em       F#
Everything changes
         C         Em     F#
I don't want mine to this time

[Verse]
C         Em
You enjoy sucking on dreams
C                     Em
So I will fall asleep with someone other than you
C               Em                F#
I had a thought you would take me seriously
C               Em         F#
And listen on

[Chorus]
         C              Em      F#
Serpents in my mind
    C       Em    F#       C

I'm searching for your crimes
     Em               F#
Everything changes
   C
In time

[Verse]
            Em
You'll stay frozen in time
C
Collagen girls
Em                    C
Controlling minds
                Em
You hold the mirror well
F#      C             Em        F#
To everybody else

[Chorus]
         C              Em      F#
Serpents in my mind
          C    Em   F#    C
Trying to forgive your crimes
           Em   F#   C
Everyone changes in time
       Em         F#    C       Em
I hope he changes this time

[Outro]
C       Em     C      Em     F#
