Two keys in this song, very tricky



Intro: A D A E A D E A



F C G C F C G

I took off my mask that night and bared my teeth in your face

F C G C F C G

You saw something else living under my skin the wolf

with no thought of disgrace



A E A A E

I know I know some things you must never confess

A E D

I drop to the ground like a bird hit by gunshot

E E A

Just like hermann hesse



I stood by the theatre door knowing it had to begin

I was shaking down to my core knowing I had to go in

I know I know some things I cry as the angels confess

I left my identity back in the theatre

Just like hermann hesse



You saw my precious mask falling from my face

I stood naked in front of you the wolf with no thought of disgrace

I know I know some things you must never confess



You chose the spirit I chose the flesh

Just like hermann hesse
