Verse 1:
  DAt the sound of the bell
you will fall fast asGleep
Let the sound of my voice
help you never reBmpeat
All the things that you've 
done all the people 
you've Aharmed
Just surrender sweet
sweetness surrender
  DWhen the curtains go crash
and the knees start to Gbend
When the filaments burst 
and there's no light to Bmlead
You to anywhere useful 
you're severed there
AAll skin on skin left 
severed and sucking the wind

anyAmore Anymore
Verse 2:
  DAt the camera's collapse 
you will feign deep resGpect
Let the flash of your past
help you never forBmget
All the things that you're not
All the people you Afailed 
to remember or return to sender
  DWhen there's nowhere but 
Gblack and the sharks creeping Bmin
When you're weathered and 
Atorn from the weakest of Dthings
Like the loose-leaf Gparade 
or the rain on eBmlectrical wires
Such eAlectrical lives that we
Glead I Apromise that I'll 
   F#m  G(hold)
never leave you alone

Verse 1:

At the sound of the bell

you will fall fast asleep

Let the sound of my voice

help you never repeat

All the things that you've

done all the people

you've harmed

Just surrender sweet

sweetness surrender

When the curtains go crash

and the knees start to bend

When the filaments burst

and there's no light to lead

You to anywhere useful

you're severed there

All skin on skin left

severed and sucking the wind

black and the sharks creeping in

When you're weathered and
