Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
There are few who deny
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
At what I do, I am the best
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
For my talents are renowned far and wide
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night
[ch]Em[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]*
I excel without ever even trying
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
With the slightest little effort of my ghost-like charms
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
I have seen grown men give out a shriek
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
With a wave of my hand and a well-placed moan
[ch]Em[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]*
I have swept the very bravest off their feet
Pre-Chorus 1
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
Yet, year after year, it's the same routine
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And I grow so weary of the sound of screams
ch]D[/ch]* [ch]G[/ch]* [ch]Em[/ch
And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Have grown so tired of the same old thing
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
An emptiness began to grow
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
There's something out there far from my home
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
A longing that I've never known
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
I'm the master of fright and a demon of light
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
And I'll scare you right out of your pants
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister Unlucky
[ch]Em[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]*
And I'm known throughout England and France
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And since I am dead, I can take off my head
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
To recite Shakespearean quotations
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
No animal nor man can scream like I can
[ch]Em[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]*
With the fury of my recitations
Pre-Chorus 2
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
But who here would ever understand
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
Would tire of his crown? If they only understood
[ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]*
He would give it all up if he only could
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Oh, there's an empty place in my bones
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
That calls out for something unknown
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
The fame and praise come year after year
ch]D[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch
Does nothing for these empty tears
