There's a [Bm]vulture [D]perching [G]right off screen
And it's [Bm]bitter and[D] whispers [G]chaotic things

It's so [Bm]easy to [D]see, [Em]everyone can [A]agree, stop [G]listening
Chorus
I know you've heard it before[G]
But then it wasn't enough[Bm]
You don't wanna [D]be held back from the [A]substitution
I know you've seen this [G]before
And now enough is too much[Bm]
You don't wanna [D]be set back when the substitution [A]comes
I'm [Em]sorry[G][F#]
Verse 2
You're a [Bm][D]marionette in the [G]center of
The [Bm]twisting [D]strings coming [G]from above

It's so [Bm]easy to [D]see, [Em]everyone can [A]agree, just let it [G]go
Chorus
I know you've heard it before[G]
But then it wasn't enough[Bm]
