[Verse 1]
 D
I can taste the blood

 D
On your lips and on your tongue

 D
I can see your teeth turn pink

 D                   Bm    G    Bm    A
Your gums fade to white
[Verse 2]
 D
The less and less I eat

 D
The more you see my teeth

  Dmaj7
The closer they move together

 Dmaj7                     Bm
Fill the gaps, curse the weather

                          G
Rip the flesh from your bones

                        Bm
Wipe me down, drive me home

                      A
Dump me side of the road

A
If I'm too annoying
[Chorus]
 D                               Em
Wear your best suit, all these people are watching

     G
Oh baby, you'll need all those fingers for crossing

       D                              Em
I'm sucking your last words from the back of your throat

      G
So perfect, so bitter, we laugh, then we choke

      G
So perfect, so bitter, we laugh then we choke
[Verse 2]
 D
You worry a million raindrops'll die

  D
With their last memory of you and I

  D
In a soft porn version of the end of the world

 D
I quake at the knees as my intentions unfurl

  Bm
You wrote a letter to God, "Just in case", you said

 G
"I'm nothing if I'm not a pragmatist"

  Bm
"You needn't worry about us, we can look after ourselves

    A
We have learnt not to rely on you or anyone else"
[Chorus]
 D                               Em
Wear your best suit, all these people are watching

     G
Oh baby, you'll need all those fingers for crossing

       D                              Em

      G
So perfect, so bitter, we laugh, then we choke

  D                                     Em
(Keep) Wear your best suit, all these people are watching

                    G
(Your fingers) Oh baby, you'll need all those fingers for crossing

                  D                             Em
(Crossed) I'm sucking your last words from the back of your throat

      G
So perfect, so bitter, we laugh then we choke
