[Intro]
|C||F|
CYou're cold and sweet, just like ice cream
CWith eyes so big I hoped you'd see
FYou begged for grace, you left no grace for meG  
CYou traded places with the sun
CMade me orbit around your love
FWith no regard or notice of
Cmy world below you burning up
FSo don't you come any closer
CDon't you come any closer
[Instrumental]
C
CYeah I closed my eyes, I dreamed today
CI lust for all those memories
FBut ashes fell to ashes
FAnd I laid to rest those better days
CYou washed your hands all clean of me
CBut look there's blood left on your sleeve
FNow everywhere you'll ever be,
Cat least you will remember me
FBut don't you come any closer
CAnd don't you come any closer
FAnd don't you come any closer
CAnd don't you come any closer
AmOh help me plCease, I'm ruined by your love
FThe damage has been doneC  
AmAnd oh, shame on mCe I took at your word
FIs that really all it's worth?
FDon't you come any closer
Don't you come any clCoser
CCause I closed my eyes, I dreamed today
CI lust for all those memories
FBut ashes fell to ashes, yeah ashes fell to ashes
FSo don't you come any closer
CDon't you come any closer
FDon't you come any closer
COh don't you come any closer

[Intro]

C F

||||

You're cold and sweet, just like ice cream

With eyes so big I hoped you'd see

F G

You begged for grace, you left no grace for me

You traded places with the sun

Made me orbit around your love

With no regard or notice of

my world below you burning up

So don't you come any closer

Don't you come any closer

[Instrumental]

Yeah I closed my eyes, I dreamed today

I lust for all those memories

But ashes fell to ashes

And I laid to rest those better days

You washed your hands all clean of me

But look there's blood left on your sleeve

Now everywhere you'll ever be,

at least you will remember me

But don't you come any closer

And don't you come any closer

Am C

Oh help me please, I'm ruined by your love

F C

The damage has been done

Am C

And oh, shame on me I took at your word

Is that really all it's worth?

Don't you come any closer

Cause I closed my eyes, I dreamed today

I lust for all those memories

But ashes fell to ashes, yeah ashes fell to ashes

So don't you come any closer

Don't you come any closer

Oh don't you come any closer

[Outro]
