verse 1: 
 
Am     G              F     C 
You go sleep with the fishes, 
           Am           G 
There?s no room for you here, 
           F            C 
There?s no room for you here, 
Am        G                F      C 
Wrap your teeth around the pavement, 
            Am       G 
?Cause your body?s a message, 
     F             C 
Send my regards to hell, 
 
 
Am             G 
Fall upon your knees, 
    F                    C 
Say this is my body and soul here, 
Am              C 
Fall upon your knees, 
    F                 C 
Say you?ve got the power to control, 
 A G F 
Hold me, 
A    G    F    C 
Don?t let go of me, 
 
verse 2: 
 
You?ve been granted three wishes, 
 
Say goodbye to your mother, your father, your son, 
 
I can hear your hearts racing from here, 
 
Sitting next to this deadbeat, 
 
So heart in your mouth, 
 
Chorus:  
 
Fall upon your knees, 
 
Say this is my body and soul here, 
 
Falling back and plead, 
 
Say you got the power to control, 
 
Hold me, 
 
Don?t let go of me, 
 
verse 3: 
 
Blame, Blame, Blame, 
 
Oh Blame, Blame, Blame, 
 
Oh Blame, Blame, Blame, 
 
Oh Blame, Blame, Blame, 
 
Chorus: 
 
Fall upon your knees, 
 
Say this is my body and soul here, 
 
Fall upon your knees, 
 
Say this is my body and soul here, 
 
This is my body, 
 
And this is my soul, 
 
Fall upon your knees, 
 
You got the power to control, 
 
Hold me, 
 
Don?t let go of me,
