[Intro: Dm, F, Gm, Bb, Gm] x3

Dm                 F              Gm   Bb  Gm
Foreign tongues in familiar places
Dm             F             Gm        Bb  Gm 
Surrender the thrills to the very core
Dm                F                     Gm      Bb  Gm
Forever young and blessed with nameless graces
Dm                F      Gm        Bb  Gm
A love that kills and promises more

Bb                     Gm
Ash on the carpet and dust on the mirror
Bb                      Gm
Chasing shadows and the dreaming comes clearer
Bb                    Gm
Gasping for colour, this perfect heart

Dm                     F        
Screaming howl and the children play
Gm                    Bb        Gm
Serpents kiss for the words you pray
Dm                            F
Whiskey and the devil and the witching hour
Gm                   Bb          Gm
Serpents kiss on that untouched flower

Dm                     F
Searching for a haven, it’s no favour
Gm                Bb    Gm
The fingers that shine
Dm                  F            Gm           Bb  Gm    
Heart beats quicker as the veils start to fall
Dm              F               Gm       Bb  Gm
I’ll be craving, the pleasure’s all mine
Dm              F             Gm           Bb   Gm
Candles flicker as the devils dance on the wall

Bb                         Gm
Stroking the naked and the silence gets colder
Bb                           Gm
Stuck on the ceiling and the kissing gets bolder
Bb                  Gm
Biting my nails for fear of revenge

Dm                    Gm           Bb  Gm
Serpents kiss and the children play
Dm                    Gm           Bb  Gm
Serpents kiss for the words you pray
Dm                    Gm           Bb  Gm
Serpents kiss and the witching hour
Dm                    Gm        Bb    Gm
Serpents kiss on that untouched flower

[interlude  Dm, F, Gm]

Bb                     Gm
Ash on the carpet and dust on the mirror
Bb                      Gm
Chasing shadows and the dreaming comes clearer
Bb                    Gm
Some kind of visitor and the neon street

Dm                    Gm           Bb  Gm
Serpents kiss and the children play
Dm                    Gm           Bb  Gm
Serpents kiss for the words you pray
Dm                    Gm           Bb  Gm
Serpents kiss and the witching hour
Dm                    Gm        Bb    Gm
Serpents kiss on that untouched flower
