[Bridge]
D                       D/C#          D/G
  Tell me lampshade the truth did you cover his
D/B               D/Bb
soul - Did you protect all the horrible
D/A                  D/Bb
   I shall tear you apart so that everyone
D/B                    D/C   D/C#
knows - What he's been carry-ing around...

   Tell me lampshade what is it you're trying to
D/B               D/Bb
hide - Under your stinky old corduroy

   I shall rip and be shattered by the shrapnell of

light - That I've been choking on always

   There's a dog barking close within the range of my

ear - Sounds like he wants to escape the chain
D/A                   D/Bb
    He would probably bite me to death if he
D/B             D/C           D/C#
could - But the chain lets me spit in his face
 
D                     D/C#           D/G
   Like the dog has a chain clinging tight to it's
D/B                D/Bb
neck - This man is tied to his secrecy
D/A                     D/Bb

   But instead I'll remove this lampshade
