Verse:
C#/A  C/A   Em
Once in the backyard, 
D/F#             C
she was once like me, 
G                D/F#
she was once like me.
C#/A  C/A    Em 
Twice when I killed them, 
D/F#              C
they were once at peace, 
G                  D/F#
they were once like me. 

Verse:
C#/A C/A     Em
Hold to your gun, man, 
D/F#                 C
and put off all your peace, 
G              D/F#
put off all the beast. 
C#/A           C/A      Em
Paid a full of these, I wait for it, 
    D/F#               C
but someone's once like me. 
G                D/F#
She was once like me. 

Chorus:
bah-bah-bah x8
Asus2 Em D/F#  C

Verse:
    C#/A C/A     Em
And I once was better. 
  D/F#           C
I put off all my grief. 
  G             D/F#
I put off all my grief. 
    C#/A       C/A      Em
And so I go to hell, I wait for it, 
    D/F#              C
but someone's left me creased. 
    G                D/F#
And she was once like me.
