A (x02220@1)          D (xx0232@1) My love is selfish,
      Bm (x24432@1)     A (x02220@1)       Emand (022000@1)I bet that your's is too.

       Bm (x24432@1)      A (x02220@1)    Emand (022000@1)it cares not who it hurts.

        Bm (x24432@1)           D (xx0232@1)          E7For (020130@1)the meaning of the ritual, so habitual and cursed

A (x02220@1)           D (xx0232@1)  My love is selfish,
       Bm (x24432@1)  A (x02220@1)     EmHow (022000@1)it separates the earth.
         C#m (x13321@4)       C#m7 (x4242x@1)               F#m (244222@1)       F#m7It (131141@2)takes every shiny stone but leaves the dirt,
        Bm (x24432@1)           D (xx0232@1)                E7for (020130@1)the cowards in the corner who just don't know what they're worth
             C#m (x13321@4)        C#m7 (x4242x@1)         F#m (244222@1)     F#m7They've (131141@2)been twisted by a hollow kind of pain.
         Bm (x24432@1)            D (xx0232@1)          E7Oh (020130@1)I can see it in their eyes but I ignore it every day, because

A (x02220@1)           D (xx0232@1)  my love is selfish,
       Bm (x24432@1)      A (x02220@1)  Emand (022000@1)it remembers everything
         C#m (x13321@4)             C#m7 (x4242x@1)          F#m (244222@1)         F#m7Like (131141@2)the first time it was moved enough to sing
       Bm (x24432@1)            D (xx0232@1)               E7How (020130@1)it dangled on that stage just like a puppet on a string
