E5 ... B5 ... A5 ...
E5 ... B5 ... A5 ...

E5                                                         B5
I am your poison candygram , the love that's meant to fade away
                       A5                              E5  
Vade retro, alter ego, move aside, I'm choking on this life
                                                        B5
I think I tolerate your hate, as long as you're afraid
                    A5                           C5
All I wanted was to be with you and suffer every day

                        A5         
Under the moon I hold a wake for a promise torn
                           B5         C5
Mortally wounded, feelings sheltered me
                     A5
Once again my shadow will enter your life
                         B5          E5
Time to walk with me the last mile


                                                     B5
I read a book about a man, a love, a woman, how they died
                       A5                            E5
How I was waved aside, listen how the headless doves cry
                                                  B5
I truly see a madman in the mirror when I'm weak
                         A5                   C5       
I spent a year in love before I realized it's me

                             A5
Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
                         B5           C5
Make me believe it, oh I know you're lying
                            A5
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why
                     B5              
Could I let you wait out the night


E5            C5            E5        D5                E5
Mother always said ?My son... do the noble thing..."
            C5                        A5                  G5    D5      E5    
You have to finish what you started, no matter what, now sit, watch and learn
              C5             E5               D5           E5
"It's not how long you live... but what your morals say"
                 C5                   A5                G5     D5  E5
Cannot keep your part of the deal so don't say a word, don't say a word


                                                        B5
It won't be long now, love, like mist I slowly fill the room
                               A5                              E5
I place a black candle on your chest, the path of night is manifest
                                              B5
I never wanted us to end up in this catatonic phase
                       A5               C5
It was not me who ran away, you made me stray

                             A5      
Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
                         B5        C5
Make me believe it, oh I know you lie
                            A5                  
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why
                                B5
Settling the score, we pass the twilight


E5            C5             E5        D5             E5
Mother always said, ?My son... do the noble thing"
            C5                        A5                  G5    D5      E5    
You have to finish what you started, no matter what, now sit, watch and learn
              C5             E5               D5            E5
"It's not how long you live... but what your morals say"
                 C5                   A5                G5     D5  
Cannot keep your part of the deal so don't say a word, don't say a word


CAPO CHANGE 4


E5         C5                    E5         D5                 E5                               
Strawberry blonde, your stranglehold on my heart is bound to end
           C5                  A5             G5      D5       E5 
I suppose, life sometimes, it doesn't go the way it was meant
           C5              E5                    D5             E5
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?


A5           F5              D5               F#5  F5
Short is the flight of this little starling
A5            F5                D5                            
Love sounds familiar, but the emotion escapes me
A5     F5         D5                           F#5  F5
I will carpe the diem while it's still here
A5      F5               D5      C5     C5                  
And see how the fear of death becomes her


E5        E5        E5              E5
We had it all so sweet.. Made for me, you, indeed
E5          E5                  G5               B5                                  
Big secret, small the lie.. Don't cry for me, oh, argentite
E5          E5        E5            E5
No word you say tonight can make this be alright
E5            E5              G5             B5                    E5  
I'll help you follow through- Remember this?  Pacta sunt servanda
    E5                 E5        E5
The wounds are too deep, I need to keep the scars
E5             E5            G5                 B5
To prove there was a time when I loved something more than life
E5         E5              E5                       E5
Unlike the last time here, I now have the means and a will sincere
E5             E5             G5                  B5                 E5
Your knight is nowhere near.  Unfortunate for you, this makes me your God

C5                             A5
Closing your eyes, don't ever say you love me, whore
                          B5        C5
You never meant a word, I know you lied
                                A5
When there is life, there is despair, indulge me now
                           B5                                                E5
And stay alive this night... I promise you the end before the first light arrives


              C5             E5        D5             E5
