Em                    D
take a look at my body
C            G
look at my hands

there's so much here
D
that I don't understand

Em                   D
your face saving promises
C                   G
whispered like prayers

I don't need them
D
I don't need them

Em
I've been treated so wrong
G
I've been treated so long
Em                        D
as if I'm becoming untouchable

Em                     D
contempt loves the silence
C                  G
it thrives in the dark
Am
with fine winding tendrils
D
that strangle the heart

Em               D
they say that promises
C               G
sweeten the blow
G
but I don't need them
D
no, I don't need them

Em
I've been treated so wrong
G
I've been treated so long
Em                     D
as if I'm becoming untouchable

Em
I'm a slow dying flower
G
frost killing hour
Em
the sweet turning sour
D
and untouchable

the darkness

a kiss goodnight

angel sweet
G
love of my life

o, I need this

Em
I'm a slow dying flower
G
frost killing hour
Em
the sweet turning sour
D
and untouchable

G                           D
do you remember the way
C                          G
that you touched me before
Am
all the trembling sweetness
D
I loved and adored?

your face saving promises

whispered like prayers

or I'm leaving

Em
hold your breath
G
kiss me now you'll catch my death
