Childbirth tears upon her muscles Very first, second a screaming icon Babies in time barely even recognise Words that once stroked now bruising tired lips Bridge (Let chords ring) -----------------------

   Dm                 C
My idea of love comes from

            Bb                 C
A childhood glimpse of pornography

             Dm         C
Though there is no true love

       Bb                 C
Just a finely tuned jealousy

Chorus ------

C               F           Dm
Life becoming a landslide

    Bb               C
Ice freezing, nature dead

                F           Dm
Life becoming a landslide

        Bb         C
I don't wanna be a man

Verse 2 -------- Here the guitars and bass come in heavy, playing something likes this

E---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-8-7---7-8-5-3---1-0-1-12-8

Everyday more numb to agony This the howl, this the sigh of the lonely One day I realise oil on canvas Can never paint a petal oh so delicate Bridge ------ Let chords ring as before Chorus ------ Repeat the chorus twice Instrumental Verse ------------------ Second Chorus ------------- Same chords as first chorus Life becoming a landslide A mile empty inside Life becoming a landslide Desire on its knees Repeat and end on

  Bb          C
Desire on its knees
