Intro:
 F-  Bb- F  
Verse 1:
FHere is the evidence, human existence
BbSplitting bin bag next to damp boxes
FI cannae find the name for them, they hardly show that I have lived
FAnd the dust it settles on these thingsBb,   displays my age again
FLike a new skin made from old skin that's barely been lived in
Chorus:
FI didn't need these things, I didn't need them, awwwe
BbThe point is hard to pass, a mediocre past
BbNow I shed my clothes, I shed my flesh down to the bone and burn the rest
FI didn't need these things, I didn't need them, awwe
BbTook them all to bits, turn them outside in
BbAnd I left them on the floor and ran for dear life through the door, awwwe
Interlude:
 F-  Bb- F  
Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords)
Useless objects, gathered storm of shit
Didn't silence shed through all your life's supplies
When all you need's a coffin and your Sunday's best to smarten up the end
At the front gate, where the Lord awaits
One bite of love from a Holy Ghost
An eternity of suffering in company of all those Christian men
Chorus 2: (use chorus 1 chords)
I didn't need these things, I didn't need them, awwe
The point is hard to pass, a mediocre past
So I shed my clothes, I shed my flesh down to the bone and burn the rest
I didn't need these things, I didn't need them, awwe
Took them all to bits, turn them outside in
And I left them on the floor and ran for dear life through the door, awwwe
Never need these things, never need them, awwwe
Its just you I need, you my human heat
The things are only things and nothing brings me life, bring me, awwwe
Never need these things, never need them, awwwe
Never going back, and we can drop the past
And we'll leave them on the floor and run for dear life through the door, aww
Outro:
 F-  Bb- F  
(repeat to fade-out)

Here is the evidence, human existence

Splitting bin bag next to damp boxes

I cannae find the name for them, they hardly show that I have lived

And the dust it settles on these things, displays my age again

Like a new skin made from old skin that's barely been lived in

Chorus:

I didn't need these things, I didn't need them, awwwe

The point is hard to pass, a mediocre past

Now I shed my clothes, I shed my flesh down to the bone and burn the rest

I didn't need these things, I didn't need them, awwe

Took them all to bits, turn them outside in

And I left them on the floor and ran for dear life through the door, awwwe

Didn't silence shed through all your life's supplies

An eternity of suffering in company of all those Christian men

The point is hard to pass, a mediocre past

So I shed my clothes, I shed my flesh down to the bone and burn the rest

Never need these things, never need them, awwwe

Its just you I need, you my human heat

The things are only things and nothing brings me life, bring me, awwwe

Never need these things, never need them, awwwe

Never going back, and we can drop the past
