Chord transcription by Ignacio Lois (tangermail@yahoo.com)
Intro:
F C/E Dm7 C
F C/E Dm7 C
The killer lives inside me: yes, I can feel him
move.
F C/E Dm7 C
Sometimes he's lightly sleeping in the quiet of his
room,
G Em F G F Em Dm
but then his eyes will rise and stare through mine;
Em F G F Em C G/B
he'll speak my words and slice my mind inside.
F C/E Dm7 C
Yes the killer lives
Angels live inside me: I can feel them smile...
Their presence strokes and soothes the tempest in my
mind
and their love can heal the wounds that I have
wrought.
They watch me as I go to fall
-well, I know I shall be caught,
while the angels live.
This middle part is weird. The bass line goes
6/8 Bb C A C Ab C |5/8 C C C C C
and in the 5/8 bar there is an athonal chord. My best guess was:
C F# G B
How can I be free?
How can I get help?
Am I really me?
Am I someone else?
The same, but rallentando, and then:
F9 F Dm4 Dm
F9 F9 F Dm4 Dm4 Dm
But stalking in my cloisters hang the acolytes of
gloom
F9 F9 F Dm4 Dm4 Dm
and Death's Head throws his cloak into the corner
of my room
Bb+ Bb Bb5b F
and I am doomed...
But laughing in my courtyard play the pranksters of my
youth
and solemn, waiting Old Man in the gables of the roof:
he tells me truth...
I was too lazy to transcribe the middle instrumental
bridge
(some work for you)
And I too, live inside me and very often don't know
who I am:
I know I'm not a hero, well, I hope that I'm not
damned.
I'm just a man, and killers, angels, all are these:
Dictators, saviours, refugees in war and peace
as long as Man lives...
I'm just a man, and killers, angels, all are these:
Dictators, saviours, refugees...
