There's an old man living in the back of you woods tonight.
      D                                   A
You forgot he was even there, but you've never slipped his mind.
 Em                                           G
He's living off of scraps of you, you never knew you left behind.
            D                                    A
And as the sun goes down, he rises with a smile.

But you don's see the writing on the wall.
                              C
He'll never step out in the light; 
                     G
no he's just biding time.
                 D                                 B 
And while you slumber, hes gonna come and take it all.

   Verse 2
Em                                             G
He knows you have the answers but truth lies dusty on your shelf.
          D                                                  A
And the sword that you could slay him with has become an ornament

and nothing else.
 Em
You could put him back down in his hole in the ground,
          G
but he knows you never will.
            D                                   A
He's been around so long, you got used to the smell.

                 C                                 Em
He knows he'll never have your soul, but he will gladly rob you blind.
             D                                  A
While you feasting at his table he'll tie you hands and numb you mind.
                 C                                           Em
He'll take you farther than you want to go, he'll keep you longer
                                    D
than you wan to stay.  And it will cost you 
                                    A
more than you'd ever thought you'd pay.
