The Mind Of The Bat

F#m
Riddle me this now, riddle me that
Bm                          E
Does anyone really know the mind of the Bat?
F#m
I live in the shadows, I work in the shade
Bm                          E
A cape and a mask, a lonely keeper's crusade

[Pre-Chorus]

        F#m
Can you tell me I'm not insane?
            Bm                         E
Sometimes I get this feeling about the law I'm dealing
     F#m
Am I letting my reason wane?
       Bm                    E
Have I been forsaken on this path I've taken?

[Chorus]

F#m              D                   C#m    C
Check my head, I guess the joke's on me, whoa
F#m              D         C#m    C
I'm not laughing at the irony, oh no

[Refrain]

F#m
So riddle me this now, and riddle me that
Bm                          E
Does anyone really know the mind of the Bat?
F#m
So riddle me this now, and riddle me that
Bm                          E
Does anyone really know the mind of the Bat?

[Verse]

F#m
Wherever you're going, whatever you do
Bm                          E
I'm out in the dark keeping watch over you
F#m
So poison the Ivy with your crocodile tears
Bm                              E
We're climbing the vines to the heart of your fears

[Pre-Chorus]

        F#m
Can you tell me has something changed?
      Bm                      E
The rewards are zero 'cause I ain't no hero
       F#m
Do you know it when you go strange?
        Bm                     E
Is your taunting true, am I as crazy as you?

[Chorus]

F#m              D                   C#m    C
Check my head, I guess the joke's on me, whoa
F#m              D         C#m    C
I'm not laughing at the irony, oh no

F#m         D
Look to the sky at night
C#m        C
I scan the highest heights

Look to the sky at night
C#m        C
I scan the highest heights
