you've Emgot your mother's picture, it's hanging on the wall
your Clife is in your luggage, that you're stowing down the hall
your Amirrors lying horizontal, tripping over empty bottles
Cwhile your friends are outside, they're waiting for your call
you Emcan't afford this lesson, but you bought in anyway
your Cvocal chords are missing, there's so much you want to say
your Afriends advice is quintessential, you think they're all going mental
the Cinsults were in jest, but you Dswallowed anyway

you Csee your life as chess, but you've castled far too late
I Acan't believe the innocence that I thought you could once posess
your Cminions are all grinning, they're just counting down the days
when Emeverything comes crashing, we'll be with you through and through
I Csee that silver lining, but you've painted it with blue
you're Askiing to the bottom, so you feel like you're on top
the Crumors are all true we're still Awaiting here for you

VERSE 1

********

you've got your mother's picture, it's hanging on the wall

your life is in your luggage, that you're stowing down the hall

your mirrors lying horizontal, tripping over empty bottles

while your friends are outside, they're waiting for your call

you can't afford this lesson, but you bought in anyway

your vocal chords are missing, there's so much you want to say

your friends advice is quintessential, you think they're all going mental

C D

the insults were in jest, but you swallowed anyway

---------------------------

CHORUS

*******

G C

my love how did you get this way love

what brought on all this weight love

open up your arms, the angels want to listen

C G

but the devil you've been kissing all night long

---------------------------

VERSE 2

********

you think you're very clever, but you guard yourself with hate

you see your life as chess, but you've castled far too late

I can't believe the innocence that I thought you could once posess

your minions are all grinning, they're just counting down the days

when everything comes crashing, we'll be with you through and through

I see that silver lining, but you've painted it with blue

you're skiing to the bottom, so you feel like you're on top

C A

the rumors are all true we're still waiting here for you

---------------------------

CHORUS

*******

G C

my love how did you get this way love

what brought on all this weight love

open up your arms, the angels want to listen

but the devil you've been kissing all night long

---------------------------

BRIDGE

*******

there's more to life than this,

you're still searching for the bliss you had the first

time that you kissed the devil's lips

Now you're washed up on the shore, there's no feeling anymore

our love is growing tired, and the warranty's expired

---------------------------

CHORUS

my love how did you get this way love

what brought on all this weight love

open up your arms, the angels want to listen

but the devil you've been kissing
