The melody is played with the fingers, while the thumb keeps bass on the two low strings.
The thumb occasionally speeds up from quarter notes to eight notes, but it does not seem intentional.

   Could ev - er     make    me                      out     to be

A
And it makes me want to scream
               G
When it's Halloween
                 A
And the kids are laughing

The rogue is a bank he's never broke
                       G
But worth as much as a joke
               A
That no one is laughing at

VERSE 2:
A
Can you believe some things are not
                         G
Appealing? And there's a spot
                     A
On the ceiling of my childhood bedroom

And contains dreams that you can't imagine
                           G
But none of them match the vision
                A
That you have decided for me


VERSE 3:
A
You want to take away from me
                                  G
The things that are mine and it's not your right
                        A
I'll bet you wouldn't expect a fight

Can it be that I don't want what you want
                           G
And the only thing I could care for is
                          A
A place in a home that is safe and warm
                                            G     A
Safe and warm, safe and warm, safe and warm

VERSE 4:
A
Judge yourself if you feel the need
                     G
Just let me alone to be
                 A
In search of the truth myself

There is a drop of blood on the ground
                             G
And it seems to me that it's not my kind
                            A
And I can't be sure if it's yours or mine

I, I'm as ugly as I seem
                    G                 A
Worse than all your dreams could ever make me
Could ever make me
Could ever make me
Could ever make me
