       Em*     Bm
Take a look at my body

C          G
Look at my hands

Am
There's so much here that I

D
Don't understand

     Em*         Bm
Your face saving promises

C             G
Whispered like prayers

        G
I don't need them

        D 
I don't need them

          Em
I've been treated so wrong

          C
I've been treated so long

   G               D
As if I'm becoming untouchable

         Em*           Bm
Well, contempt loves the silence

   C           G
It thrives in the dark

     Am
With fine winding tendrils that

D
Strangle the heart

Em*          Bm
They say that promises

C          G
Sweeten the blow

            G
But I don't need them

            D
No, I don't need them

          Em
I've been treated so wrong

          C
I've been treated so long

   G               D
As if I'm becoming untouchable

      Em
I'm a slow dying flower

     C
In a frost killing hour

    G
The sweet turning sour

    D
And untouchable
Em* Bm C G Am D Em* Bm C G G D
              Em
O, I need the darkness, the sweetness

    C                          G
The sadness, the weakness

      D
Oh, I need this

         Em
I need a lullaby, a kiss goodnight

C                              G
Angel sweet love of my life

     D
Oh, I need this

      Em
I'm a slow dying flower

     C
In a frost killing hour

    G
The sweet turning sour

    D
And untouchable

       Em*     Bm
Do you remember the way

         C       G
That you touched me before?

        Am
All the trembling sweetness

  D
I loved and adored

     Em*        Bm
Your face saving promises

C             G
Whispered like prayers

        G
I don't need them

            D
No, I don't need them

              Em
O, I need the darkness, the sweetness

    C                          G
The sadness, the weakness

      D
Oh, I need this

         Em
I need a lullaby, a kiss goodnight

C                                G
The angel sweet love of my life

      D
Oh, I need this

      Em
Is it dark enough? Can you see me?

       C                          G
Do you want me? Can you reach me?

        D
Oh, I'm leaving

           Em
You better shut your mouth, hold your breath

C                                 G
Kiss me now and catch your death

      D
Oh, I mean this
Em C G D
