Verse 1:
[Dm] You don't know fear
Till it's c[C]calling from behind

They couldn't [C]leave Anne on her own
And the [Bb]press paraded pictures

Of a dead Marylin Monroe

I will [C]always choose the wolves

A [C]face you've never met

When her [A]body lost its right

They [Bb]would cry as well
And [A]fear you too
