[Intro]
G6sus4 Em (x3)
D/F#
[Verse 1]
G6sus4 Em
It was a close call
G6sus4 Em
Sitting in the back of the room
G6sus4
With a bowl you had owned
Em D/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 D/F#
Tell me it's time
[Chorus]
C Em D/F#
Serpents in my mind
C Em D/F#
Looking for your crimes
C Em D/F#
Everything changes
C Em D/F#
I don't want mine to this time
[Verse 2]
C Em
You enjoy sucking on dreams
C Em
So I will fall asleep with someone other than you
C Em D/F#
I had a thought you would take me seriously
C Em D/F#
And listen on
[Chorus]
C Em D/F#
Serpents in my mind
C Em D/F# C
I'm searching for your crimes
Em D/F#
Everything changes
C
In time
[Verse 3]
Em
You'll stay frozen in time
C
Collaging girls
Em C
Controlling minds
Em
You hold the mirror well
D/F# C Em D/F#
To everybody else
[Chorus]
C Em D/F#
Serpents in my mind
C Em D/F# C
Trying to forgive your crimes
Em D/F# C
Everyone changes in time
Em D/F# C Em
I hope he changes this time
[Outro]
C Em C Em D/F#
C
