[Intro]
Em  Em/D  Em/C
(repeat throughout verse)
[Verse 1]
       Em       Em/D    Em/C Em Em/D Em/C
As you lie there on your bed

            Em      Em/D   Em/C     Em Em/D Em/C
Beneath the face of Louise Brooks

          Em    Em/D            Em/C  Em Em/D Em/C
With your makeup and your teddy bear

         Em   Em/D  Em/C  Em Em/D Em/C
And your C.S. Lewis books

Am   G    Em
 Bad seed

         Am  G    Em
You're a bad seed
[Interlude] Em Em/D Em/C Em Em/D Em/C [Verse 2]
         Em          Em/D  Em/C Em Em/D Em/C
You're a decadent in chrysalis

        Em       Em/D   Em/C Em Em/D Em/C
Waiting sleepily to emerge

            Em          Em/D  Em/C Em Em/D Em/C
When you'll visit every seedy need

        Em       Em/D    Em/C Em Em/D Em/C
Of your random obsessive urge
[Chorus]
Gm Gm/F         Gm/Eb Gm/D     Bb
        All the ruses that you use

   Bb/A         Gm
        All the food that you refuse

   Gm/F         Gm/Eb    Gm/D  Bb       Bb/A    Cm       Gm
        All the dust and tired air that feeds Interior Lulus

   Gm/F         Gm/Eb    Gm/D Bb
        All the poisoned attitudes

   Bb/F         Gm
        And the lust for the unknown

   Gm/F         Gm/Eb  Gm/D      Bb     Bb/A
        And the second best that devils use

           Cm                    Gm
        To make this world their own

Gm/F Gm/Eb  Gm/D   Bb   Bb/A F

Every rainy day by e-mail

       Em        Em/D    Em/C Em Em/D Em/C
As you lie there on your bed

        Em      Em/D   Em/C Em Em/D Em/C
Another virtual page arrives

              Em               Em/D  Em/C Em Em/D Em/C
There will be times when you remember me

       Em       Em/D      Em/C Em Em/D Em/C
Of the chapters you'll be writing

       Em          Em/D    Em/C Em Em/D Em/C
As the voices echo in your head

       Em          Em/D   Em/C Em Em/D Em/C
In the book called wasted lives

       Em             Em/D Em/C Em Em/D Em/C
As you read Henry and Anais
[Chorus]
Gm Gm/F         Gm/Eb    Gm/D     Bb
        All the lost weekends and booze

   Bb/A         Gm
        All the finger-and-thumb screws

   Gm/F         Gm/Eb     Gm/D     Bb         Bb/A
        All the sleepless worn out blues that bruise

          Cm       Gm

[Synth solo] Em F# G F# Em F# Em F# [Guitar solo] Em F# Em F# [Bridge]
Em      F#
Use the anger

Em      F#
Paint a picture of it

Em        F#
Throw the colours

Em            F#
Use the pain, use the pain
Em/A Em/C Em/F
Em            F#
Scream back a brand new emotion

Em          F#
As it runs across the skin

Em          F#
Fire across paper

Em           F#         F
Burn and curl, burn and curl

Cm                       Eb        F
You thought you couldn't feel like this

Cm                  Eb              F
But it's happening again and you're waking up in pain

Cm               Eb      F
Tattooed in that private place

Cm            Eb
Microsoft and tears

F          Em      F# Em F#
Intimately pierced
Em F# Em F#
Em                F#
Discovering and remembering

Em                     F#
You felt like this somewhere before

Em              F#
Stirrin' up the bed of the river

Em                  F#      F
Somewhere you don't like to go

Cm                  Eb      F
You wrote this down so many times

Cm                Eb          F
But you get up anyway and you write it down again

Cm                     Eb         F
You've bored us all to death with this

Cm                 Eb
Well who you gonna tell

            F               Am
When you've nothing left to sell
[Guitar solo] Am C/A D Fmaj7 Em Am [Bridge 2]
               C/A  D  Fmaj7 Em Am
She says she's lonely

             C/A   D  Fmaj7
She says she knows me

            Em      Am
But she's a one-way street
[Acoustic guitar] Am C/A D Fmaj7 Em Am C/A D
                     Fmaj7      Em G
She told me what I already know

            Am                   C/A      D
"If you can carry it out you can take it away

           Fmaj7                        Em          G
If you can carry it out you can take it away

           Am
If you can buy it, it can be bought

           C/A        D
If you can buy it, it can be stolen

           Fmaj7
If you can break it

     Em              G
It's already broken"

     Am            C/A D
It's already broken

     Fmaj7         Em
It's already broken
