Just like Hermann Hesse

Two keys in this song, very tricky

intro:   A   D  A   E   A   D  E  A

F   C           G         C         F         C            G
I took off my mask that night and bared my teeth in your face
F                 C            G        C          F            C            G
you saw something else living under my skin the wolf with no thought of disgrace

A      E   A   A                             E
I know I know some things you must never confess
A                            E          D
I drop to the ground like a bird hit by gunshot
E           E        A
just like hermann hesse

I stood by the theatre door knowing it had to begin
I was shaking down to my core knowing I had to go in
I know I know some things I cry as the angels confess
I left my identity back in the theatre
just like hermann hesse

You saw my precious mask falling from my face
I stood naked in front of you the wolf with no thought of disgrace
I know I know some things you must never confess

you chose the spirit I chose the flesh
just like hermann hesse
just like hermann hesse
