+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

88[10][10]98 = Em*
x22000 = Em
xx0232 = D

When you see Em*, you can play Em open if you want, but I find that it sounds
better with the bar chord.

Intro: D
    D


    D
Take a look at my body
Em
Look at my hands
Am
There's so much here that I
D
Don't understand
   D
Your face saving promises
Em
Whispered like prayers
    Em
I don't need them
    D
I don't need them

     Em
I've been treated so wrong
     C
I've been treated so long
  D
As if I'm becoming untouchable

     D
Well, contempt loves the silence
  Em
It thrives in the dark
   Am
With fine winding tendrils that
D
Strangle the heart
D
They say that promises
Em
Sweeten the blow
      Em
But I don't need them
      D
No, I don't need them

     Em
I've been treated so wrong
     C
I've been treated so long
  D
As if I'm becoming untouchable
   Em
I'm a slow dying flower
   C
In a frost killing hour
  G
The sweet turning sour
  D
And untouchable

D
D

       Em
O, I need the darkness, the sweetness
  G
The sadness, the weakness
   D
Oh, I need this
     Em
I need a lullaby, a kiss goodnight
G
Angel sweet love of my life
   D
Oh, I need this

   Em
I'm a slow dying flower
   C
In a frost killing hour
  G
The sweet turning sour
  D
And untouchable

    D
Do you remember the way
     Em
That you touched me before?
    Am
All the trembling sweetness
 D
I loved and adored
   D
Your face saving promises
Em
Whispered like prayers
    Em
I don't need them
      D
No, I don't need them

       Em
O, I need the darkness, the sweetness
  G
The sadness, the weakness
   D
Oh, I need this
     Em
I need a lullaby, a kiss goodnight
G
The angel sweet love of my life
   D
Oh, I need this
   Em
Is it dark enough? Can you see me?
    G
Do you want me? Can you reach me?
    D
Oh, I'm leaving
      Em
You better shut your mouth, hold your breath
G
Kiss me now and catch your death
   D
Oh, I mean this
