Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Guitar under violin riff
 my dewey-eyed Disney bride what has tried
 swapping your blood with formaldehyde?
Monsters?
Whiskey-plied  voices cried fratricide
 Jesus don't you know that you coulda  died, you shoulda died
 with the monsters  what talk E--2
  D - B--3
 monsters that walk the earth G--2 (transition chord b/t verse/chorus)
  D--0
  A--4
  E--x
 she's got red  lipstick
 and a brown pair of shoes
 and she's got knee  high socks
 what to cover a bruise
 she's got an old  death kit
 she's been meaning  to use she's got
blood  in her eyes in her eyes  for you
 she's got blood  in her eyes for you
 certain fads, stripes and plaids, singles ads
 run you hot and cold like a rheostat  I mean a thermostat
 so you bite  on a towel
 hope it won't hurt too bad
 Repeat 1st part of Verse 1 (my dewey eyed...)
 she says I  like long walks and sci-fi movies
you're  six foot tall and east coast bred
some  lonely night we can get  together
and  I'm gonna tie your wrists  with leather
 and drill  a tiny hole  into your head
 oh, I'm gonna drill  a tiny hooooooole...  into your head
 "Are you living or existing?"
