Tuning: Standard

INTRO:
D

VERSE:
D
 My love is selfish,
   Em
and I bet that your's is too.
F#m7
What is this peculiar word called truth?

E7


D
  My love is selfish,
    Em
and it cares not who it hurts.
    F#m7
It will cut you out to satisfy its thirst
    E7
For the meaning of the ritual, so habitual and cursed

D
  My love is selfish,
    Em
How it separates the earth.
     F#m7
It takes every shiny stone but leaves the dirt,
    E7
for the cowards in the corner who just don't know what they're worth
       F#m7
They've been twisted by a hollow kind of pain.
     E7
Oh I can see it in their eyes but I ignore it every day, because

D
  my love is selfish,
    Em
and it remembers everything
     F#m7
Like the first time it was moved enough to sing
    E7
How it dangled on that stage just like a puppet on a string
