*just play with the G string and listen to the song to get the intro

Am~
 Don't get too close
F~
 That place is haunted
C~
 Fear not the ghosts
G~
 Cos she sent them running

Chorus:
Am-F-C
      G                 Am-F-C
She sleeps beneath the surface
    G                 Am-F-C
Consorting with the serpents
     G                 Am-G-F
She strikes without a purpose


Verse 1:
Am
A dark face in a corridor
Deceptively beautiful
       C
She's watching you
              G
She's in everything you do
Am
Her kiss it tastes so sweet
But left me with a lethargy
    C                        G
I couldn't shake, I made a grave mistake

Bridge:
Am             F
I gave her my heart, she didn't want it
 C                         G
Took it anyway and put a dark spell on it
Am             C             G
Since then I haven't been the same
Am             F
Needed a victim and she got it
 C                           G
Took me in with her song, powerless to stop it
Am               C              G
Some men don't dare to speak her name

Am-F-C-G

Verse 2:
Am                         F
She picked me up from my decline
                                 C
Healed my wounds with love and wine
                           G
Dosed me up and closed my eyes
A taste of poison
Am                        F
She gave me all that I desired
                            C
Sung the songs of angel choirs
                                 G
Preached the words of death and fire and left me burning

Bridge:
Am             F
I gave her my heart, she didn't want it
 C                         G
Took it anyway and put a dark spell on it
Am             C             G
Since then I haven't been the same
Am             F
Needed a victim and she got it
 C                           G
Took me in with her song, powerless to stop it
Am               C              G
Some men don't dare to speak her name

Am-F
                          C     G
She sleeps beneath the surface
                     Am       F
Consorting with the serpents
                       C        G
She strikes without a purpose
