(Verse 1)

F7M              Em
A mother sings a lullaby to a child

D               Aadd11   
Sometime in the future the boy goes wild

F7M         Em                              D     Dsus2  Aadd11
And all his nerves are feeling some kind of energy


F7M           Em
A walk in the woods and I will try

D                   Aadd11
Something under the trees that made you cry

F7M      Em              D           Dsus2  Aadd11
It's so erotic when your make up runs



(Chorus)

A                            Em
I got wiring loose inside my head

                                  A
I got books that I never ever read

                           Em
I got secrets in my garden shed

                                    A
I got a scar where all my urges bled

                           Em
I got people underneath my bed

                                       
I got a place where all my dreams are dead

Bb             C
Swim with me into your blackest eyes



(Bridge)

D   F |--> x4



(Verse 2)

F7M                Em           D
A few minutes with me inside my van

               Aadd11
Should be so beautiful if we can

F7M          Em              D      Dsus2  Aadd11
I'm feeling something taking over me



(Chorus)


After that chorus there is a part with distirtion guitar:

After that there is a part only with synth and bass and at last another part with 
distortion guitar, which is exactly the same with the intro!

NOTES

1. The dotts above some notes mean that you have to play them with vibrato!


It's not a difficult song except from the intro and the outro,
which are played fast enough, so...

                              
                                    HAVE FUN!
