Chords

This song is usually played with obscure tuning and it sounds a bit ugly without a full band. I've figured out this version to be played with regular chords in standard tuning. Intro: A D A D A D A D
A                                  D
The light color in the room

A                                  D
  The sunshine seeping in

A                                  D
Doesn't mix with the black of

A                                  D
Death's angel looming in

A                                  D
   I've had enough of the

          A                        D
Brutal beatings and name-callings

A                                  D
  To lose me to this bed

          A                        D
Bruised internally, eternally

E                     F#m            D
  Your praise little gifts you spent your money

       A                             D
And stuffed me with

E                 F#m  D                   A D
  Didn't amount to aaaaaanything

     E                  F#m      D         A D
The attention I need is much more serious

   E                F#m  D                 A D
A kind of weight you couldn't lift

         E           F#m    D              A D
Even if your cheap career depended on it

       E               F#m D               A D
I need someone much more mysterious

   E              F#m
To be my- to be my miss-

        D                                  A D
To be my mistress
And so on.
