[Chorus]
C                  Am                E   
All my friends are heathens, take it slow
C                Am              E   
Wait for them to ask you who you know
       C           Am        E    
Please don't make any sudden moves
    C              Am           E    
You don't know the half of the abused
C                  Am                E   
All my friends are heathens, take it slow
C                Am              E   
Wait for them to ask you who you know
       C           Am        E    
Please don't make any sudden moves
    C              Am           E    
You don't know the half of the abused

[Verse 1]
Am                           
Welcome to the room of people
                                   Em                        
Who have rooms of people that they loved one day, docked away
Am                                        
Just because we check the guns at the door
                 Em                                   
Doesn't mean our brains will change from hand grenades
Am                                            Em    
You'll never know the psychopath sitting next to you
                                            Am    
You'll never know the murderer sitting next to you
                                                B    
You'll think, "How'd I get here sitting next to you?"
B                         N.C.
And after all I've said, please don't forget

[Chorus]
C                  Am                E   
All my friends are heathens, take it slow
C                Am              E   
Wait for them to ask you who you know
       C           Am        E    
Please don't make any sudden moves
    C              Am           E    
You don't know the half of the abused

[Verse 2]
Am                                    
We don't deal with outsiders very well
Em                                     
They say newcomers have a certain smell
Am                                   
You have trust issues, not to mention
Em                                     
They say they can smell your intentions
Am                                           Em    
You'll never know the freakshow sitting next to you
                                           Am 
You have some weird people sitting next to you
                                                 B   
You'll think, "How'd I get here sitting next to you?"
B                         N.C.
But after all I've said, please don't forget (Watch it)
C Am E E
C Am E E

[Chorus]
C                  Am                E   
All my friends are heathens, take it slow
C                Am              E   
Wait for them to ask you who you know
       C           Am        E    
Please don't make any sudden moves
    C              Am           E    
You don't know the half of the abused

[Bridge]
C                  Am                Em             
All my friends are heathens, take it slow (watch it)
C                Am              Em             
Wait for them to ask you who you know (watch it)
C                  Am                Em             
All my friends are heathens, take it slow (watch it)
C                Am              Em  
Wait for them to ask you who you know

[Outro]
C                   Am                   E     
Why'd you come, you knew you should have stayed
  C                 Am            E  
I tried to warn you just to stay away
    C              Am            E   
And now they're outside ready to bust
   C              Am              E 
It looks like you might be one of us
