Sufjan Stevens - John Wayne Gacy, Jr.: chords

Fm                D#
His father was a drinker
        Cm              G#
And his mother cried in bed
Fm                   D#
Folding John Wayne's t-shirts
          Cm               G#
When the swingset hit his head

The neighbors they adored him
For his humor and his conversation
Look underneath the house there
Find the few living things, rotting fast,
in their sleep

Oh, the dead
Twenty-seven people
Even more, they were boys
With their cars, summer jobs
Oh my God
Are you one of them?

He dressed up like a clown for them
With his face paint white and red
And on his best behavior
In a dark room on the bed

He kissed them all
He'd kill ten thousand people
With a sleight of his hand
Running far, running fast to the dead

He took off all their clothes for them
He put a cloth on their lips
Quiet hands, quiet kiss on the mouth

And in my best behavior
I am really just like him
Look beneath the floor boards
For the secrets I have hid
