E5 D5
take a look at my body
C5 G5
look at my hands
A5
there's so much here
D5
that I don't understand 


E5 D5
your face saving promises
C5 G5
whispered like prayers
G5
I don't need them
D5
I don't need them 


E5 
I've been treated so wrong
G5
I've been treated so long
E5 D5
as if I'm becoming untouchable


E5 D5
contempt loves the silence
C5 G5
it thrives in the dark
A5 
with fine winding tendrils
D5
that strangle the heart 


E5 D5
they say that promises
C5 G5
sweeten the blow
G5
but I don't need them
D5
no, I don't need them 


E5 
I've been treated so wrong
G5 
I've been treated so long
E5 D5
as if I'm becoming untouchable 


E5
I'm a slow dying flower
G5
frost killing hour
E5
the sweet turning sour
D5
and untouchable 

o, I need
E5
the darkness

the sweetness
G5
the sadness

the weakness
D5
I need this 

I need
E5
a lullaby

a kiss goodnight
G5
angel sweet

love of my life
D5
o, I need this 


G5 D5
do you remember the way
C5 G5
that you touched me before
A5
all the trembling sweetness
D5
I loved and adored? 


E5 G5 
your face saving promises
C5 G5
whispered like prayers
G5
I don't need them
D5
no, I don't need them 

o, I need
E5
the darkness

the sweetness
G5
the sadness

the weakness
E5 D5
I need this 

I need
E5
a lullaby

a kiss goodnight
G5
the angel sweet

love of my life
E5 D5
I need this 


E5
is it dark enough? 

can you see me? 
G5 E5
do you want me? 

can you reach me? 
E5 D5
or I'm leaving 


E5 
you better shut your mouth

hold your breath
G5 E5
kiss me now you'll catch my death
D5
o, I mean it
