Am Gm

It was just like ice on my neck

Dm Gm

When you traced your hands down my back

Am Gm

And I prayed to something, god knows what

Dm Gm

That I'd never let you stop

Gm Am

I can't move and I don't want to

Dm Gm

I don't love and I don't want you

Am Gm

I won't know, if I ever

Dm Gm

Because I don't feel I'll remember

What that's like

Dm Gm

what it's like

to know

you

Dm Gm

can

Am Gm

you can lay your eggs inside my back

Dm Gm

you can suck the blood straight from my neck

Am Gm

you can turn us all to dust

Dm Gm

and leave just an empty husk

Am Gm

and you can leave me here, if you want

Dm Gm

because you'll never love anyone

Dm Gm

because you'll never love anyone

N.C.

because you'll never love anyone

Gm Am Dm Gm

[x2]
