Intro: Bm- - G- - D- - F#m-- x2


Verse 1:
D
  So the light now
is my weapon
F#m
   Like a bush dried
withered in the sun
G
  With this spark I'll
         A
go up in flames
D
  I lay my guns 
down but they're
too small to see
F#m
   It's kinda cute how 
I resent to be
G
  Everything but the
             A
instrument I am


Chorus:
   Em          F#m G
Embrace the empti--ness
   D             A  G A
So let it enfold you
  Bm
A better life is
what I am after
G
My first name won't
be my last one
D
Let the light just
               F#m
drip into your eyes


Verse 2:
D
  So it's true my
words are contrived
F#m
   I tell lies just to
get into your mind
G
  I'm as fake as a
         A
widow's smile
D
  This mask of glass
is what I choose to wear
F#m
   So I won't ever
have the need to bear
G
  To tell the truth
              A
to anyone but me


(Repeat Chorus)

eyes are light

Bridge:
           D
I'm just a bad actor
             F#m
stuck with a shitty script
          G
All of my lines are
              A
cheap and the cast is weak
          D
There was no music for 
               F#m
the first time I got kissed
             G
There was no femme fatal 
            A
my mistress wasn't rich
             D
So I've been formatted
            F#m
to fit your TV screen
               G
The film went straight to tape
             A
I'll bow out quietly
D F#m        G  A
     So quietly
D F#m        G  A
     So quietly


Outro:
Em                   F#m
  Please do this now I beg
G
  Duct tape my arms and legs
D
  Throw me into the sea
 A
(Please save me please save me)
Em                   F#m
  Please do this now I beg
G
  Duct tape my arms and legs
D
  Throw me into the sea
 A
(Please save me please save me)
Em                    F#m
  Now watch the waves eat me
G
  Setting my cold heart free
D
  I'll wash the shore in weeks
     A
(You can't save me can't save)
Em                    F#m
  Now watch the waves eat me
G
  Setting my cold heart free
