[VERSE 1]

      Em                     Edim   Em  C    Em    Edim  Em
Mr. Malum's got a secret, he keeps when giv- ing   speeches.

         Em                       Adim7
Just a whisper in precision, that cuts through hesitation.

       G              C                       Adim7
With a sharp and evil whip to keep the dogs at bay.


[PD-C HORUS]

         C      D            G                 C
When the truth arrives, you wont believe your eyes.

       Am                     D                B7
He's triumph's pessimist, but he's no less content.


[CHORUS]

         G             C6
With the wo-rld in the grip of his hands,

                Em               Cm6
He'll crush the air out of it's lungs. 


              G           Am7
Say we don't want him to have it all,

             Em                C
But now it's just too late to ask,

        D            B7        B
Because his hold has turned so tight.

      
[VERSE 2]

      Em                        Edim  Em C    Em  Edim  Em
His puppets to the left and his pawns to line the right,

          Em                         Adim7
But every eye is front and center, a cruel intoxication,

         G                 C                Adim7
From the sap that trickles down his branches to their mouths.


[PD-C HORUS]


          C     D            G                 C
When the truth arrives, you wont believe your eyes.
      
    Am                  D                B7
A vicious champion, but he's no less content.


[CHORUS]

         G             C6
With the wo-rld in the grip of his hands,

                Em               Cm6
He'll crush the air out of it's lungs. 


              G           Am7
Say we don't want him to have it all,

              Em               C
But now it's just too late to ask,

             D       B7        B
Because his hold has turned so tight.


[BRIDGE]

    Em                                  C
The air we're barely breathings not enough,

                D         B7          B
And this final gasp that rattles us to bend,

         Em                          C                  
The last thing we will see, is Mr. Malum.


                G
The thin of his tie,

                   C
One slink of the suit, 

             G
A link to cuff,

                       Eb
And the shine of his shoes.


              D                 B7               B
But when the truth arrives, you didn't trust your eyes.

You had your chance, but you turned away again.
