[Verse] Am C The stench of sulfur E C climbing up the drain Am C open up your chest E C your heart would smell the same Am C you got a lot of nerve E C defyn' your old man's word Am C blood on your boots E C you got lust in your veins
Am C The shriek of sirens E C singing out of tune Am C a dozen black roses E C in a hideous room Am C you got a swagger E C you got a fistful of swoon Am C blood on your hands E C steady that silver spoon [Chorus] Am C Though your towers were tall Dm and your powers were grand E you could not understand Am how you fell from great heights C and you burrowed with speed Dm a kingdom you did lead E C E from heaven to hell [Verse] Am C Cast from the garden E C with cunning and rage Am C biding your time E C through dark and empty days Am C trade in your canons E C your tenants and rules Am C for pandemonium E C high capital ruse Am C Ashes to ashes E C dust to dust Am C all for not E C if not for all of us Am C mighty king E C you held the reins Am C you drove your chariot E C right down the drain [Chorus] Am C Though your towers were tall Dm and your powers were grand E you could not understand Am how you fell from great heights C and you burrowed with speed Dm a kingdom you did lead E C E from heaven to hell Am C Though your towers were tall Dm and your powers were grand E you could not understand Am how you fell from great heights C and you burrowed with speed Dm a kingdom you did lead E C E from heaven to hell
