INTRO: E Asus2

VERSE:

E (022100@1)						    Asus2 (x02200@1) The streets are dark, my pulse is flat-lined as I'm running to you

E (022100@1)				    Asus2 (x02200@1) You sit completely unaware of what I'm about to do

E (022100@1)					 Asus2 (x02200@1) The air is thick with tension much like when we are together

E (022100@1)					  Asus2 (x02200@1) My fangs are aching as I'm pondering about you and I forever


PRE-CHORUS:

B (x2444x@1)	    Asus2 (x02200@1)	      E (022100@1)C#mAs (x13321@4)I round your corner I am nervous that you won't be my lover

  B (x2444x@1)			     Asus2 (x02200@1)	         EI (022100@1)knock three times and hope that my pale complexion won't blow my cover

    C#m (x13321@4)			
You answer the door with your innocent face

B (x2444x@1)		       Asus2 (x02200@1) Would you like to leave this human race, tonight?


CHORUS:

E (022100@1) C#m (x13321@4)Asus2 (x02200@1)    E (022100@1)   C#m (x13321@4) Asus2 (x02200@1) Eternity will never be enough  for   me

E (022100@1) 	C#m (x13321@4) Asus2 (x02200@1) 			  E (022100@1)  C#m (x13321@4)Asus2 (x02200@1) 
  And eternally we'll live our infallible love


(VERSE)
My brain is pumping an unusual secretion of lust
Your eyes are softer now and your chin, it drips a bloody color of rust

(PRE-CHORUS)
I am raising up the stakes of this round, I am playing for keeps
Oh, would you like to leave this human race, tonight?

(CHORUS)
Eternity will never be enough for me
And eternally we'll live our infallible love


BRIDGE:

E (022100@1)        Asus2 (x02200@1) Follow me into the sea

E (022100@1)	    	       Asus2 (x02200@1) We'll drown together and immortalize you and me

E (022100@1)                 	       Asus2 (x02200@1) Leave behind this lonely town

E (022100@1)		        Asus2 (x02200@1) We're both better than this, it's not worth being down

(CHORUS)
Eternity will never be enough for me
and eternally we'll live our infallible love

(BRIDGE)
Follow me into the sea
We'll drown together and immortalize you and me
Leave behind this lonely town (eternally)
We're both better than this, it's not worth being down (eternally)
