 I'd listen to the words he'd say 
 But in his voice I heard decay 
 The plastic face forced to portray 
 All the insides left cold and gray 
 There is a place that still remains 
 It eats the fear it eats the pain 
 The sweetest price you'll have to pay 
 The day the whole world went away

 something that sounds 
 like:)

 B|----------------------------------| 
 G|---4---6--4---9------9--9--8--9---| (I know this part actually is sung

 with them) 
 A|----------------------------------| 
 E|----------------------------------|
