a        Esus2slash across her face 
        C#sus2Lips I'd 
     Bbmkill a man to taste 
What -        Ebsus2ever this stuff        Ebsus2is

It's getting      Bbmunder my skin 
        Ebsus2I can't wash her a -           C#sus2/Abway 
I can      Bbmfeel her closing in 
        Ebsus2Hands like 
a        Ebsus2carnival of queens 
        C#sus2Hair like 
a      Bbmheart attack of dreams 
A         Ebsus2voice so soft 
you could         Ebsus2cut it with a kiss 
        C#sus2Screams so small 
you could      Bbmhold them in your fist 
        Ebsus2Little white fingertips 
        Ebsus2running up your back 
Little        C#sus2needling scores where 
her      Bbmnails leave a track 
Chorus:

If she's        C#sus2nothing but a coffin least 
she's      Bbmgood enough to die in 
She's a        Ebsus2ballroom 
full of        Ebsus2dancing chairs 
She's a        C#sus2child in disguise 
hiding      Bbmbullets in her hair 
A        Ebsus2voice so soft

        C#sus2Screams so small 
you could      Bbmhold them in your fist 
Every         Ebsus2one night stand 
is a         Ebsus2six week stretch 
                 (y´ can´t wash her a -           C#sus2/Abway)
Craving her arms twisted up      Bbmaround your neck

a       Ebsus2heart so pure 
                (y´ can´t wash her a -           C#sus2/Abway)
                                 If you          open up her veins 
you'd see the      Bbmlight run through her
