Em ... Bm ... Am ...
Em ... Bm ... Am ...
Em Bm
I am your poison candygram , the love that's meant to fade away
Am Em
Vade retro, alter ego, move aside, I'm choking on this life
Bm
I think I tolerate your hate, as long as you're afraid
Am C
All I wanted was to be with you and suffer every day
Am
Under the moon I hold a wake for a promise torn
B C
Mortally wounded, feelings sheltered me
Am
Once again my shadow will enter your life
B Em
Time to walk with me the last mile
Bm
I read a book about a man, a love, a woman, how they died
Am Em
How I was waved aside, listen how the headless doves cry
Bm
I truly see a madman in the mirror when I'm weak
Am C
I spent a year in love before I realized it's me
Am
Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
B C
Make me believe it, oh I know you're lying
Am
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why
B
Could I let you wait out the night
Em C Em D Em
Mother always said ?My son... do the noble thing..."
C Am G D/F# Em
You have to finish what you started, no matter what, now sit, watch and learn
C Em D Em
"It's not how long you live... but what your morals say"
C Am G D/F# Em
Cannot keep your part of the deal so don't say a word, don't say a word
Bm
It won't be long now, love, like mist I slowly fill the room
Am Em
I place a black candle on your chest, the path of night is manifest
Bm
I never wanted us to end up in this catatonic phase
Am C
It was not me who ran away, you made me stray
Am
Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
B C
Make me believe it, oh I know you lie
Am
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why
B
Settling the score, we pass the twilight
Em C Em D Em
Mother always said, ?My son... do the noble thing"
C Am G D/F# Em
You have to finish what you started, no matter what, now sit, watch and learn
C Em D Em
"It's not how long you live... but what your morals say"
C Am G D/F#
Cannot keep your part of the deal so don't say a word, don't say a word
CAPO CHANGE 4
Em C Em D Em
Strawberry blonde, your stranglehold on my heart is bound to end
C Am G D/F# Em
I suppose, life sometimes, it doesn't go the way it was meant
C Em D Em
Though you never were a believer, I assure you: I won't die before you
You read the book now, the part ?Ashes to ashes, dust to dust?
Am F Dm F# F
Short is the flight of this little starling
Am F Dm
Love sounds familiar, but the emotion escapes me
Am F Dm F# F
I will carpe the diem while it's still here
Am F Dm C C/B
And see how the fear of death becomes her
Em E? Em E?
We had it all so sweet.. Made for me, you, indeed
Em E? G Bm
Big secret, small the lie.. Don't cry for me, oh, argentite
Em E? Em E?
No word you say tonight can make this be alright
Em E? G Bm Em
I'll help you follow through- Remember this? Pacta sunt servanda
E? Em E?
The wounds are too deep, I need to keep the scars
Em E? G Bm
To prove there was a time when I loved something more than life
Em E? Em E?
Unlike the last time here, I now have the means and a will sincere
Em E? G Bm Em
Your knight is nowhere near. Unfortunate for you, this makes me your God

Closing your eyes, don't ever say you love me, whore

When there is life, there is despair, indulge me now

And stay alive this night... I promise you the end before the first light arrives
