Intro: 


verse 1: 

C#m                
Winter isn't much here 
         Am6             E 
Just a flinching centigrade 
            B7                    
Though the grasses all look jaundiced and the 
A7              E             
Poplar branches flayed 
B              A              E 
Ooh-o-oh, the poplar branches flayed 
C#m 
Before your hysterical silence, 
           Am6           E 
You came rapping at my door 
         B7  
With your body as a sacrament 
A7                  E 
Your mind a killing floor 
B               A             E 
Ooh-o-oh, your mind a killing flaw 

Refrain 1: 

G#m6                            G#aug7    
I've been trying to quell my anger 
              C#            F# 
And not feel bitter about all the darkness you gave 
       A                   Bb/A                  A          
But as always there's that device that I cannot disengage 
Bb/A         /          Aadd6         / 
Oooh 
Bb/A         /          Aadd6         / 
Oooh 

verse 2: 

C#m                                Am6                     E 
Just as a Red Terror, you tried to kill what you couldnâ??t rein 
B7                                      A7                  E 
And now you're back in Knoxville masturbating your father's pain 
B                A                   E 
Ooh-o-oh, masturbating your father's pain 

Refrain 2: 

G#m6                              G#aug7 
Stealing from his oration of filth , 
             C#               F# 
I repeat the wickedness to force reactions out of you 
A                     Bb/A        A        
But it never hurts as deeply as I want it to 
Bb/A         /          Aadd6         /     
mmm 
Bb/A         /          Aadd6         / 
ooh 
Bb/A         /          Aadd6         / 
oooh 
Bb/A         /          Aadd6         / 

verse 3: 

C#m                              Am6                   E 
I think I'll mix my medicine and explore it 'til I'm dull 
B7                                 A           E 
You made my sky a graveyard and my moon a funeral 
B            A       E 
Ooh-o-oh, my moon a funeral 

Bridge: 

F#m      B      F#m7      F#madd2 
Oh-o-oh Oh-o-oh Oh-o-oh 
F#m     B/F#     A         A 
Oh-o-oh Oh-o-oh Oh-o-oh 

Chorus: 

C#               F#             E   F#  C# G# 
Now it's just a system of subtraction, oh yeah 
E  B              G              B               D C#

Now it's just a system of subtraction, oh yeah 
E  B              G              B               D 
    I won't even feel the hateful vibing of your faction 
C#               F#              E 
Now it's just a system of subtraction 

C#       G#    G#    C#   G#   G# 
Whatever happened to your star now? 
F#     G#  F#  F#   G#  F#     F#         G# C# 
No one cares who you are now, oh, oh, oh, 
F# B      G# C# 
  Oh-oh,     oh-oh 

Bridge 2: 

B  E  
  You were once beloved, by my people  
E/C                  B                 
Now it's bad luck to even say your name 
G# C#    F# B    G C# 
   Oho,    oho,    oho 
B  E                
   When I see you it feels so awkward 
E/C                    B          
I try to be cool but it's such a drag 
G# C#    F# B    G C# 
   Oho,    oho,    oho 

Spoken Interlude: 

Fm   
I waited for you on our feral streets 
E  
Smelling other people's piss 

Bridge 3: 

D#             G#               A# 
How could you think you see me backwards, babe 
E          A              B   
You ain't even seen the blikk fang, babe 
D#           G#       C# 
It's not acrimonious  
  
Final Chorus: 

 C#                    F#              E F#  C# G#        
'Cause now it's only systems of subtraction, oh yeah 
E  B             G              B              D       
  I won't even turn around to look at your reaction 
C#               F#               E 
Now it's just a system of subtraction

F#  G#   F#  F#  G#   F#  F# 
No one cares who you are now

You used to share my broken throne 
F#   G#  F#  F#   G#    F#               / C#(barre at 9th fret on the E) 
Now you sing flat alone now, oh, oh, oh, oh.
