BbYour smile is nothing to live for
But read out your Cmlines
And bring the faBbntasy to lEbife
You taste like a ghBbost
A cold simulation
So close to the truCmth
A costume jewel, an off-white Eblie
BbInsect in amber, is that what you are
Keep it in mind now
CmInsect in amber, the death of a star
EbNow and forever
BbBecause you will never never nEbever bBbe
Yeah you will nCmever never never bEbe
More than a macBbhine
BbA trace of a smile
A sly imitation
Light with no Cmheat
An empty cry in silent strEbeets
Your mannequin moBbves
You ghost through the motions
So close to the tCmruth
You almost had me for a wEbhile
BbInsect in amber, is that what you are
Keep it in mind now
CmInsect in amber, the death of a star
EbNow and forever
BbBecause you will never never nEbever bBbe
Yeah you will nCmever never never bEbe
More than a macBbhine
BbInsect in amber forever you aEbre
BbKeep that in mind now
BbInsect in amber the death of a staEbr
BbKeep that in mind now
FmNo going back and there’s no oEbne to tell
FmNowhere to turn, better tEburn on yourself
FmNo more disguises to fEbind a way out
And you will nBbever never be

Your smile is nothing to live for

But read out your lines

Bb Eb

And bring the fantasy to life

You taste like a ghost

A cold simulation

So close to the truth

A costume jewel, an off-white lie

Insect in amber, is that what you are

Keep it in mind now

Insect in amber, the death of a star

Now and forever

Bb Eb Bb

Because you will never never never be

Cm Eb

Yeah you will never never never be

More than a machine

A trace of a smile

A sly imitation

Light with no heat

An empty cry in silent streets

Your mannequin moves

You ghost through the motions

So close to the truth

You almost had me for a while

Insect in amber, is that what you are

Keep it in mind now

Insect in amber, the death of a star

Now and forever

Bb Eb Bb

Because you will never never never be

Cm Eb

Yeah you will never never never be

More than a machine

Bb Eb

Insect in amber forever you are

Keep that in mind now

Bb Eb

Insect in amber the death of a star

Keep that in mind now

Fm Eb

No going back and there’s no one to tell

Fm Eb

Nowhere to turn, better turn on yourself

Fm Eb

No more disguises to find a way out

And you will never never be
