Verse 1
[Em]Petite Mort, I'm asking for an [B7]answer
[C]Petite Mort, yo[Cm/A]u sang until yo[G]u slept[D]
[Am]Petite Mort, you [D7]took yourself, you [Em]bastard[E]
[C/G]Petite Mort, the [D]sleeping's all that's [G]left[B7]
You [Em]took apart the sympathetic [B7]angle
When you [C]catered to the [Cm/A]bitterness in[G]side[D]
[Am]Resigned yourself to [D7]depths I couldn't [Em]handle[E]
A [C/G]million daily [D]deaths before you [G]die
Chorus

When I got there, you were nowhere I could find
Verse 2
Through [Em]layer after layer of sub[B7]conscious
I [C]hunted for a [Cm/A]reason in the [G]woods[D]
I [Am]tore apart the [D7]map and started [Em]backwards[E]
I [C/G]couldn't picture [D]living there for [G]good[B7]
I [Em]left you there to finish starting [B7]fires
And I [C]left you there to [Cm/A]propagate your [G]lie[D]
I [Am]left you there cos [D7]honey, I was [Em]tired[E]
I [C/G]left you but that [D]doesn't make it [G]right
Chorus
[C/G] I remember your bedroom
Ivy and [Em]clover
You kept me [A7]alive
C/G G Main Riff
Knives drawn, the butcher world waited outside
