Em                                                         Bm
I am your poison candygram , the love that's meant to fade away
                       Am                              Em  
Vade retro, alter ego, move aside, I'm choking on this life
                                                        Bm
I think I tolerate your hate, as long as you're afraid
                    Am                           C
All I wanted was to be with you and suffer every day

                        Am         
Under the moon I hold a wake for a promise torn
                           B         C
Mortally wounded, feelings sheltered me
                     Am
Once again my shadow will enter your life
                         B          Em
Time to walk with me the last mile


                                                     Bm
I read a book about a man, a love, a woman, how they died
                       Am                            Em
How I was waved aside, listen how the headless doves cry
                                                  Bm
I truly see a madman in the mirror when I'm weak
                         Am                   C       
I spent a year in love before I realized it's me

                             Am
Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
                         B           C
Make me believe it, oh I know you're lying
                            Am
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why
                     B              
Could I let you wait out the night


Em            C            Em        D                Em
Mother always said ?My son... do the noble thing..."
            C                        Am                  G    D/F#      Em    
You have to finish what you started, no matter what, now sit, watch and learn
              C             Em               D           Em
"It's not how long you live... but what your morals say"
                 C                   Am                G     D/F#  Em
Cannot keep your part of the deal so don't say a word, don't say a word


                                                        Bm
It won't be long now, love, like mist I slowly fill the room
                               Am                              Em
I place a black candle on your chest, the path of night is manifest
                                              Bm
I never wanted us to end up in this catatonic phase
                       Am               C
It was not me who ran away, you made me stray

                             Am      
Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
                         B        C
Make me believe it, oh I know you lie
                            Am                  
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why
                                B
Settling the score, we pass the twilight


Em            C             Em        D             Em
Mother always said, ?My son... do the noble thing"
            C                        Am                  G    D/F#      Em    
You have to finish what you started, no matter what, now sit, watch and learn
              C             Em               D            Em
"It's not how long you live... but what your morals say"
                 C                   Am                G     D/F#  
Cannot keep your part of the deal so don't say a word, don't say a word


CAPO CHANGE 4


Em         C                    Em         D                 Em                               
Strawberry blonde, your stranglehold on my heart is bound to end
           C                  Am             G      D/F#       Em 
I suppose, life sometimes, it doesn't go the way it was meant
           C              Em                    D             Em
Though you never were a believer, I assure you: I won't die before you

You read the book now, the part ?Ashes to ashes, dust to dust?


Am           F              Dm               F#  F
Short is the flight of this little starling
Am            F                Dm                            
Love sounds familiar, but the emotion escapes me
Am     F         Dm                           F#  F
I will carpe the diem while it's still here
Am      F               Dm      C     C/B                  
And see how the fear of death becomes her


Em        E?        Em              E?
We had it all so sweet.. Made for me, you, indeed
Em          E?                  G               Bm                                  
Big secret, small the lie.. Don't cry for me, oh, argentite
Em          E?        Em            E?
No word you say tonight can make this be alright
Em            E?              G             Bm                    Em  
I'll help you follow through- Remember this?  Pacta sunt servanda
    E?                 Em        E?
The wounds are too deep, I need to keep the scars
Em             E?            G                 Bm
To prove there was a time when I loved something more than life
Em         E?              Em                       E?
Unlike the last time here, I now have the means and a will sincere
Em             E?             G                  Bm                 Em
Your knight is nowhere near.  Unfortunate for you, this makes me your God

C                             Am
Closing your eyes, don't ever say you love me, whore
                          B        C
You never meant a word, I know you lied
                                Am
When there is life, there is despair, indulge me now
                           B                                                Em
And stay alive this night... I promise you the end before the first light arrives
