Introduction:

very easy |||||
 C5                           Bb5 
Sharp and open, leave me alone
         F5                                   G#5 
And sleeping less every night
               C5                                           Bb5 
As the days become heavier and weighted
                 F5                               G#5 
Waiting in the cold light
                       C5                                                         Bb5                             F5 
A noise, a scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten
                               G#5 
With spiders inside them
                                 C5                                   Bb5 
And dust on the lips of a vision of hell
                                   F5                         G#5 
I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year.

     C5                                   Bb5                               F5             G#5 
A hundred other words blind me with your purity
                 C5                                           Bb5 
Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance
     F5                                       G#5 
I think about tomorrow
                             C5 
Please let me sleep
                                       Bb5 
As I slip down the window
 F5                                     G#5 
Freshly sqashed fly
                   C5         Bb5               F5               G#5 
You mean nothing, you mean nothing.

             C5                         Bb5                           F5                           G#5 
I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls
                 C5 
All the time
                              B5b
                           F5         G#5 
Please do it right
                                   C5 
Running into the night
                             Bb5 
I will lose myself tomorrow
 F5                             G#5 
Crimson pain, my heart explodes
       C5                   Bb5 
My memory in a fire
                                   F5 
And someone will listen
       G#5 
At least for a short while.

               F5 
(I can never say no)
             F5 
I can never say no to anyone but you.

 C5                               Bb5 
Too many secrets, too many lies
 F5                                     G#5 
Writhing with hatred
 C5                               Bb5                                                   F5   G#5 
Too many secrets, please make it good tonight
                 C5 
But the same image haunts me
       Bb5                                                       F5 
In sequence, in despair of time
               G#5                           C5 
I will never be clean again
                         Bb5                           F5 
Touched her eyes, pressed my stained face
               G#5                           C5 
I will never be clean again (with Rhythm Figure 1)
                     Bb5                       F5 
Touch her eyes, press my stained face
               G#5                           C5   Bb5   F5 
I will never be clean again
               G#5                           C5   Bb5   F5 
I will never be clean again
               G#5                           C5   Bb5   F5 
I will never be clean again
               G#5 
I will never be clean again.
