Verse 1:
D
  At the sound of the bell
                     G
you will fall fast asleep
Let the sound of my voice
                 Bm
help you never repeat
All the things that you've 
done all the people 
       A
you've harmed
Just surrender sweet
sweetness surrender
D
  When the curtains go crash
                       G
and the knees start to bend
When the filaments burst 
                        Bm
and there's no light to lead
You to anywhere useful 
you're severed there
A
All skin on skin left 
severed and sucking the wind


Chorus:
Bm F#m  G
   Marionettes
         Bm
How they dangle on 
 F#m
strings yet 
     G        D
they never forget
Bm        F#m     G
  I can't take anymore 
            Bm
I'm over it now
  F#m
I can't take 
   A
anymore Anymore


Verse 2:
D
  At the camera's collapse 
                       G
you will feign deep respect
Let the flash of your past
                  Bm
help you never forget
All the things that you're not
                   A
All the people you failed 
to remember or return to sender
D
  When there's nowhere but 
G                             Bm
black and the sharks creeping in
When you're weathered and 
A                        D
torn from the weakest of things
                    G
Like the loose-leaf parade 
                Bm
or the rain on electrical wires
      A
Such electrical lives that we
G      A
lead I promise that I'll 
F#m   G(hold)
never leave you alone


(Repeat chorus)


Bridge:
Bm             A
  Never tasted better 
     Bm           G
when you tried to let go
Bm             A
  Never tasted better 
     Bm           G
when you tried to let go
Bm             A
  Never tasted better 
     Bm           G
when you tried to let go
Bm             A
  Never tasted better 
     Bm           G
when you tried to let
tried to let go


Interlude: G--A--F#m--G-- x2


Verse 3:
D
Never tasted better 
                      D(hold)
when you tried to let go


(Repeat Chorus)
