   Watched af-ter by an-gels

            D           A

   Mul-ti-min-ded slee-per

             D          A
sti-cky with dreams and slept as

snakes-a-slee-ping and turn to tears

            D       A
her a-ching bel-ly, they have

left in there in-side

F#
   Ti-ny world, hell sinks me

And sinks my floa-ting isle, sails

E         B          C      G     B  A  B  A
down, wha-te-ver you do let it go
[Chorus]
A               D   F#       A
And she bloods, her mouth is red

D   C# C#/B C#/A C#/G# C# C#/B C#/A C#/G#
she bleeeeeeeeeeeeds

Snakes-a-slee-ping, mouth is red... bleeds her bed...

   Wai-ting and a-ching and

all green with life, her mouth is

red, make us re-mem-ber well

F#
   And see how strange it sounds

               D             A
strange as the word, no_it's not the

E        B               C          G        B  A  B  A
world is strange, not as strange as the word
