Ice Nine Kills - Stabbing In The Dark Chords

[Intro]
Bm
In calculated silence
                  Em
Captivated by the violence of the play
        G         F#
Fifteen years ago today
G      F#       Bm
Oh, an evil evolution
             A           Em
Will bring a feeble institution to its knees
   G                 F#
Oh doctor, can't you see?


[Chorus]
              Bm       Em
That when the hands of fate
            G        F#
Fall on the midnight hour
            Bm      Em
Behind this mask of hate
          G       F#
I don the devil's power


[Breakdown]
                      Bm     F# Bm F# G F#
These are the devil's eyes!



[Verse 1]
          Bm
A former portrait of perfection
F#
Painted without plight
    Em
Now Haddonfield's my battlefield
     G                  F#
Your kids won't make it home tonight
      Bm
With a madness void of reason
  F#
I kill with every strike
               Em
I'll haunt you day after day
G      F#              G
Knife after knife
F#                 F#
Taking life after life


[Chorus]
         Bm       Em
When the hands of fate
            G        F#
Fall on the midnight hour
            Bm      Em
Behind this mask of hate
          G       F#
I don the devil's power
           B          Em
If there's life in the shadows
        G               F#
Let the knife leave its mark
         G                              F#
When the certainty of safety feels like stabbing
F#
Stabbing in the dark

Bm

[Verse 2]
G              Bm
You'll learn a heartless human harvest
           F#
Feeds this festival of flesh
         Em
Stalking at the top

Scream of the crop
  G            F#
A silent cut above the rest
      Bm
Where blood's thicker than water
     F#
I've carved up quite a scene
                Em
With your worst fears carved on this white veneer
     G                  F#
I'll change the face of Halloween


[Breakdown]
G                  F#
You can't kill the boogeyman!


[Chorus]
         Bm       Em
When the hands of fate
            G        F#
Fall on the midnight hour
            Bm      Em
Behind this mask of hate
          G       F#
I don the devil's power
           Bm          Em
If there's life in the shadows
        G               F#
Let the knife leave its mark
         G                              F#
When the certainty of safety feels like stabbing
                    Bm
Stabbing in the dark

[Bridge]
       Em
I am a shadow where there once was light
F#
Strangling all signs of life
            Em
It's either you or some kid down the street
    G
The choice is yours
F#
Trick or f**kin' treat!

[Chorus]
         Bm       Em
When the hands of fate

Fall on the midnight hour
            Bm      Em
Behind this mask of hate
          G       F#
I don the devil's power
           Bm          Em
If there's life in the shadows
        G               F#
Let the knife leave its mark
         G                              F#
When the certainty of safety feels like stabbing
                    Bm
Stabbing in the dark
