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

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