Verse 1:
D5
So the light now
is my weapon
F#5
Like a bush dried
withered in the sun
G5
With this spark I'll
A5
go up in flames
D5
I lay my guns
down but they're
too small to see
F#5
It's kinda cute how
I resent to be
G5
Everything but the
A5
instrument I am
Chorus:
E5 F#5 G5
Embrace the empti--ness
D5 A5 G5 A5
So let it enfold you
B5
A better life is
what I am after
G5
My first name won't
be my last one
D5
Let the light just
F#5
drip into your eyes
Verse 2:
D5
So it's true my
words are contrived
F#5
I tell lies just to
get into your mind
G5
I'm as fake as a
A5
widow's smile
D5
This mask of glass
is what I choose to wear
F#5
So I won't ever
have the need to bear
G5
To tell the truth
A5
to anyone but me
(Repeat Chorus)
Breakdown Growl:
B5 G5
And I am dead your
D5 F#5 G5 G5
eyes are light
Interlude: D--F#m--G--A--
Bridge:
D5
I'm just a bad actor
F#5
stuck with a shitty script
G5
All of my lines are
A5
cheap and the cast is weak
D5
There was no music for
F#5
the first time I got kissed
G5
There was no femme fatal
A5
my mistress wasn't rich
D5
So I've been formatted
F#5
to fit your TV screen
G5
The film went straight to tape
A5
I'll bow out quietly
D5 F#5 G5 A5
So quietly
D5 F#5 G5 A5
So quietly
Outro:
E5 F#5
Please do this now I beg
G5
Duct tape my arms and legs
D5
Throw me into the sea
A5
(Please save me please save me)
E5 F#5
Please do this now I beg
G5
Duct tape my arms and legs
D5
Throw me into the sea
A5
(Please save me please save me)
E5 F#5
Now watch the waves eat me
G5
Setting my cold heart free
D5
I'll wash the shore in weeks
A5
(You can't save me can't save)
E5 F#5
Now watch the waves eat me
G5
Setting my cold heart free
D5
I'll wash the shore in weeks
A5 D(hold)
(You can't save me can't save me now
