Key: A
Introduction:
Am C
If you gave me a fresh carnation
G Bb
I would only crush it's tender petals
Am C
With me you'll have no escape
G Bb
And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle -
Gm Eb6
I trample down all life in my wake
D Bm
I eat it up and take the cake
E Am
I just avert my eyes to the pain
D Am
Of someone's loss helping my gain
If you gave me a dream for my pocket
Gm Eb
I am out of season all year 'round
D Bm
Hear machinery roar to my empty sound
E Am
Touch my heart and feel winter
D Cm
Hold my hand and be doomed forever -

Am/ C/ G/ Bb(x2)
If you gave me a fresh carnation
I would only crush it's tender petals
Gm Eb6
And if you're wondering by now who I am
D Bm
Look no further than the mirror -
E Am
Because I am the Greed and Fear
D Cm
And every ounce of Hate in you.
