When you see Em*, you can play Em open if you want, but I find that it sounds
better with the bar chord.

Em* D C Em Em D
Em* D
Take a look at my body
C Em
Look at my hands
Am
There's so much here that I
D
Don't understand
Em* D
Your face saving promises
C Em
Whispered like prayers
Em
I don't need them
D
I don't need them
Em
I've been treated so wrong
C
I've been treated so long
G D
As if I'm becoming untouchable
Em* D
Well, contempt loves the silence
C Em
It thrives in the dark
Am
With fine winding tendrils that
D
Strangle the heart
Em* D
They say that promises
C Em
Sweeten the blow
Em
But I don't need them
D
No, I don't need them
Em
I've been treated so wrong
C
I've been treated so long
G D
As if I'm becoming untouchable
Em
I'm a slow dying flower
C
In a frost killing hour
G
The sweet turning sour
D
And untouchable
Em* D C Em Am D
Em* D C Em Em D
Em
O, I need the darkness, the sweetness
C G
The sadness, the weakness
D
Oh, I need this
Em
I need a lullaby, a kiss goodnight
C G
Angel sweet love of my life
D
Oh, I need this
Em
I'm a slow dying flower
C
In a frost killing hour
G
The sweet turning sour
D
And untouchable
Em* D
Do you remember the way
C Em
That you touched me before?
Am
All the trembling sweetness
D
I loved and adored
Em* D
Your face saving promises
C Em
Whispered like prayers
Em
I don't need them
D
No, I don't need them
Em
O, I need the darkness, the sweetness
C G
The sadness, the weakness
D
Oh, I need this
Em
I need a lullaby, a kiss goodnight
C G
The angel sweet love of my life
D
Oh, I need this
Em
Is it dark enough? Can you see me?
C G
Do you want me? Can you reach me?
D
Oh, I'm leaving
Em
You better shut your mouth, hold your breath
C G
Kiss me now and catch your death
D
Oh, I mean this
Em C G D...
