I just needed regular chords to play with this song, I didn't want to retune my ukulele.
I know this isn't all correct, suggestions are welcome!
AEcstasy is all you need
Living in the big machine, Dnow
EOh you're Dso vain
ANow your world is way too fast
Nothing's real and nothing lasts, and DI'm aware
EI'm in love and Dyou don't care
ATurn your anger into lust
I'm still here but you don't trust at Dall
And EI'll be Dwaiting
ALove and sex and loneliness
Take what's yours and leave the rest so DI'll survive
EGod it's good to Dbe alive
CHORUS
AI'm torn in pEieces
DI'm blind and wEaiting for...
AMy heart is Ereeling
DI'm blind and Ewaiting for Ayou
AStill in love with all your sins
Where you stop then I'll begin and DI'll
EI'll be wDaiting
ALiving like a house on fire
What you fear is your desire, it's Dhard to deal
EAnd I still love Dthe way you feel
AYou're this angry little girl
Drowning in this petty world and DI'm
EWho you rDun to
ASwallow all your bitter pills
That's what makes you beautiful, you're Dall alive
EAnd I don't need what you aDin't got
CHORUS
AI'm torn in pEieces
DI'm blind and wEaiting for...
AMy heart is Ereeling
DI'm blind and Ewaiting for Ayou
AI'm blind and Ewaiting for Dyou
And I can't believe it's coming true
AI'm blind and wEaiting for Dyou
And I can't believe it's coming true
AGod it's good to be alive and IE'm still here and waiting for Dyou
No I can't believe it's coming true
AI'm blind and Ewaiting for Dyou
