INTRO:
A D A D
VERSE:
A D
My love is selfish,
Bm A Em
and I bet that your's is too.
C#m C#m7 F#m F#m7
What is this peculiar word called truth?
Bm D E7
A D
My love is selfish,
Bm A Em
and it cares not who it hurts.
C#m C#m7 F#m F#m7
It will cut you out to satisfy its thirst
Bm D E7
For the meaning of the ritual, so habitual and cursed
A D
My love is selfish,
Bm A Em
How it separates the earth.
C#m C#m7 F#m F#m7
It takes every shiny stone but leaves the dirt,
Bm D E7
for the cowards in the corner who just don't know what they're worth
C#m C#m7 F#m F#m7
They've been twisted by a hollow kind of pain.
Bm D E7
Oh I can see it in their eyes but I ignore it every day, because
A D
my love is selfish,
Bm A Em
and it remembers everything
C#m C#m7 F#m F#m7
Like the first time it was moved enough to sing
Bm D E7
How it dangled on that stage just like a puppet on a string
