Intro: [ch]C[/ch] (x3)

Riff 1: [ch]C[/ch], [ch]Bb[/ch]

[ch]C[/ch]                  [ch]Bb[/ch]
Wake up in the dark
[ch]C[/ch]                  [ch]Bb[/ch]            [ch]C[/ch]              [ch]Bb[/ch], [ch]C[/ch], [ch]Bb[/ch], [ch]C[/ch]
The after-taste of anger in the back of my mouth
[ch]C[/ch]                [ch]Bb[/ch]
Spit it on the wall
[ch]C[/ch]               [ch]Bb[/ch]
And cough some more
               [ch]C[/ch]                [ch]Bb[/ch]   [ch]C[/ch], [ch]Bb[/ch]
And scrape my skin with razor blades

    [ch]D#[/ch] 
And make up in the new blood
    [ch]D[/ch]               [ch]A#m[/ch]
And try to look so good
        [ch]C[/ch]  [ch]Bb[/ch], [ch]C[/ch], [ch]Bb[/ch]
Follow me
[ch]D#[/ch]
Make up in the new blood
     [ch]D[/ch]             [ch]A#m[/ch]               [ch]C[/ch], [ch]Bb[/ch], [ch]C[/ch]
And follow me to where the real fun is

[ch]C[/ch]       [ch]Bb[/ch]
Ha ha ha
 [ch]C[/ch]            [ch]Bb[/ch]           [ch]C[/ch]
As stale and selfish as a sick dog
[ch]Bb[/ch]        [ch]C[/ch]           [ch]Bb[/ch]           [ch]C[/ch]    [ch]Bb[/ch]
Spurning sex like an animal of god
[ch]C[/ch]                       [ch]Bb[/ch]      [ch]C[/ch]
I'll tear your red hair by the roots
                    [ch]Bb[/ch]
And hold you blazing
         [ch]C[/ch]                     [ch]Bb[/ch]             [ch]C[/ch], [ch]Bb[/ch]
Hold you cherished in the dead electric light
      [ch]D#[/ch]
Your face
                  [ch]D[/ch]      [ch]A#m[/ch]     [ch]C[/ch]    [ch]Bb[/ch], [ch]C[/ch], [ch]Bb[/ch]
I'll never see you this way a---gain
  [ch]D#[/ch]
I captured it so perfectly
     [ch]D[/ch]             [ch]A#m[/ch]        [ch]C[/ch], [ch]Bb[/ch], [ch]C[/ch], [ch]Bb[/ch]
As if I knew you'd disappear away

[ch]D#[/ch]
Shake shake shake shake

[ch]A#m[/ch]        [ch]C[/ch]    [ch]Bb[/ch]  [ch]C[/ch]
Shake dog shake

    [ch]Bb[/ch]
You hit me again
    [ch]C[/ch]               [ch]Bb[/ch]
You howl and hit me again
                [ch]C[/ch]
The same sharp pain
[ch]Bb[/ch]
Wakes me in the dark
     [ch]C[/ch]                           [ch]Bb[/ch]
And cuts me from my throat to my pounding heart
    [ch]D#[/ch]
My heart
   [ch]D[/ch]
My shaking heart
            [ch]C[/ch]
My howl my shake dog

       [ch]D#[/ch]                      [ch]D[/ch]       [ch]A#m[/ch]
But we slept all night in the virgin's bed
                [ch]C[/ch]
And dreamed of death
                        [ch]Bb[/ch]  [ch]C[/ch]
And breathed like sick dogs
    [ch]D#[/ch]                     [ch]D[/ch]       [ch]A#m[/ch]
We slept all night in the virgin's bed
