Introduction:

 F  Dm 
Verse 1
 Am 
In darkness, you're all around me,
 Am 
I know our future, I feel your body.
 Am 
What if I told you that I planned this?
 Am 
What if I want to lose control?
 Am 
What if I take the blame and become the drug
 Am 
And dissolve as you swallow?
Prechorus 1
 F                                                                               C 
Covered in your silhouette,
 Dm 
Elated for your bitter end.
 F                                                                                               C 
Don't hide the shame from our lips,
 Dm 
Glowing in amber, burn in sin.
Chorus
 Am                                                                                       C 
Against the wall, we fall from grace,
 F                                                                         Dm 
The pain we love is taking shape.
 Am                                                                                                 C 
A burning lust to touch the flame,
 F                                               G 
Over and over again.
 Am                                                                                                                   C 
We've played this role a thousand times,
         F                                                                 Dm 
The same old script, just different lies.
 Am                                                                                   C 
You disappear without a trace,
       F                                                             G 
Concealing the crimes on your face.
Verse 2
 Am 
Beneath all the pleasure, all you are is pain,
 Am 
And you deserve every second of your suffering.
 Am 
But yet I can't stop, crawling to your doorstep,
 Am 
Every time you beckon,
 Am 
I'm self destructing, trust in nothing,
 Am 
Save me!
Prechorus 2
 F                                                                             C 
You burn like a cigarette,
 Dm 
I took my time to suck you in.
 F                                                                                       C 
So take me out of my head,
 Dm 
And spread your ashes on my skin.
Chorus
 Am                                                                                                 C 
Against the wall, we fall from grace,
 F                                                                           Dm 
The pain we love is taking shape.
 Am                                                                                                 C 
A burning lust to touch the flame,
 F                                             G 
Over and over again.
 Am                                                                                                               C 
We've played this role a thousand times,
         F                                                                                     Dm 
The same old script, just different lies.
 Am                                                                                     C 
You disappear without a trace,
       F                                                           G 
Concealing the crimes on your face.
Fall!

 Am  C 
Bridge
           F                                                                         Dm 
Your skin like winter, I felt you shiver.
     Am                                                                                         C 
I heard you whisper, but the pills were quicker.
     F 
I watched you wither,
     Dm 
I am the killer!

 E7 
Chorus
 Am                                                                                                 C 
Against the wall, we fall from grace,
 F                                                                           Dm 
The pain we love is taking shape.
 Am                                                                                                 C 
A burning lust to touch the flame,
 F                                               G 
Over and over again.
 Am                                                                                                         C 
We beg like dirt and flesh disarms
 F                                                                       Dm 
We built it up, to fall apart
 Am                                                                               C 
Even the honesty was fake
 F                                                                 G                                                   Am 
Concealing the crimes on your face
