Intro: Gm--Eb-F- x2
Verse 1:
I feel it welling up in[Gm]side
And Robert Smith lied
[Eb] Boys do [F]cry
And with[Gm] blood tears in my eyes
I'm an [Eb]Anne Rice novel [F]come to life
[Gm] I can't hide the monster[Eb] any[F]more
One can[Gm] only feel desolate [Eb]for so [F]long
[Gm] Until one starts to change
Into something the mirror
doesn't recognize
[Eb] I metamorphosize
The darkness [F]has been
biding its time
[Gm] To claim its latest victim
Fresh meat for carnal desires
[Eb] To become what I became
[F] I viewed the sun for the last time
Chorus 1:
[Eb]Will you s[F]till hold me [Gm]when
you see what I have done?
[Eb]Will you s[F]till kiss me the [Gm]same
when you taste my victim's [Eb]blood?
So crim[F]son and red
[Dm] I feel it [Eb]flowing from your lips
So crim[F]son and red
Verse 3:
My heart is dead and so are [Gm]you
And it pulses through
The desire to change
To [Eb]deconstruct all
[F] giving my past failings
[Gm] But where to begin
Because when you live in sin
It's hard to look at [Eb]saints
Without them reflecting[F] their
jet black auras back on [Gm]you
And I have is hope
My inner burn's not fading
[Eb] I'll wipe the blood
from my [F]cheek
And get on with my day
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge:
[Eb] And I have is hope
[Gm] And all I need is time
[G#] To bury in pine under
six feet of [Gm]time
The lies I [G#]told me
about my[Eb]self
Claw my way out
Pick the s[Gm]plinters from
under my fingernails
[G#] I won't lose hope
[Gm] I won't give [G#]in
Verse 4:
[Fm] Just [Cm]live and [G#]breathe
And try [Eb]not to die again
[Fm] Just [Cm]live and [G#]breathe
And try [Eb]not to die again
[Fm] Just [Cm]live and [G#]breathe
And try [Eb]not to die a[Fm]gain[Eb/G] [G#]
And try not to die again
Chorus 2: Modulate from Eb to E
[E]Will you s[F#]till hold me [G#m]when
you see what I have done?
[E]Will you s[F#]till kiss me the [G#m]same
when you taste my victim's [E]blood?
So crim[F#]son and red
[Ebm] I feel it [E]flowing
from your lips
So crim[F#]son and red
My heart is dead
and so are you
(Repeat)
