[Intro]

Dm A F G

[Verse]

Dm A F G

Can't you see I'm in decay?

Dm A F G

Like a pitchfork in the rain.

Dm A F G

Rusted red my metal stained,

Dm A F G

I'm cracking up like peeling paint.

[Chorus]

Dm A F G Gm F E Dm

Hold me close to your... to your... to your heart...

Dm A F G

[Verse]

Dm A F G

Can't you see I'm in denial?

Dm A F G

Like a clown that paints his smile.

Dm A F G

This head's a junkyard gone to pot,

Dm A F G

Just a milk-tooth left to rot.

[Chorus]

Dm A F G Gm F E Dm

Hold me close to your... to your... to your heart...

Dm A F G

[Verse]

Dm A F G

Can't you see my memory fade?

Dm A F G

Like a washboard scrubbing stains.

Dm A F G

My tongue has twisted in to knots,

Dm A F G

My words are stories with no plots.

[Chorus]

Dm A F G Gm F E Dm

Hold me close to your... to your... to your heart...

Dm A F G

[Verse]

Dm A F G

Can't you see me fall apart?

Dm A F G

Like a burning house of cards!

Dm A F G

Clubs and diamonds in array,

Dm A F G

The spades are digging their own graves.

[Chorus]

Dm A F G Gm F E Dm

Hold me close to your... to your... to your heart...
