As recorded by Flogging Molly (From the 1997 Album ALIVE BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR) [Intro] Am G Am G Am G Am G Am G Am G [Verse 1]
Am                 G            Am           G
I don't eat I just devour, everyone in every hour

Am            G             Am N.C.
All is me, is all I need and that's all that I care

   Am                      G
Propelled through all this madness

        Am            G
By your beauty and my sadness

     Am              G
I'll never change or rearrange

                              Am
'Till I've finished what I've started
[Chorus]
    C          G
And life leads me here

   Dm                            Am
It shows me, I have never really loved no one but me

         C                 G
Like the time, you slipped through my hand

     Dm               N.C.                   Am
I'll never understand why I'm such a selfish man
[Interlude] G Am G Am G [Verse 2]
Am                   G
Walk around me not before me

        Am
I'll pretend not to ignore you

                         G
But I'll compromise if I realize

                     Am
You can do something for me

                      G
I'm ugly and you know it

              Am         G
But you think that I'm a poet

        Am                  G
So I'll keep the rhyme if I feel in time

                     Am
It gets me where I'm going
[Chorus]
    C          G
And life leads me here

   Dm                            Am
It shows me, I have never really loved no one but me

         C                         G
Like the time, you slipped through my hand

         Dm
And I'll never understand

                          N.C.                   Am
No I'll never understand, why I'm such a selfish man
[Interlude] G Am G Am G [Bridge]
Am    C                      G
All I heard was an unearthly silence

                                    Am
Apart from the violence, explode in my head

             C                       G
Where all at once was this moment of beauty

                                    Em
No more since it slew me, no never again, again, again
[Interlude]
 Am   G Am   G Am   G  Am
(Hey!) (Hey!) (Hey!)

      G Am   G Am   G  Am
(Hey!) (Hey!) (Hey!)
[Guitar Solo] C G Am C G [Outro]
   Em
No I'll never understand

                          Am
No I'll never understand, why I'm such a selfish man!

G       Am

G       Am   G
