Am                     F
    So there goes your life

     D                       A5 [ A ]
Disappeared from ever loving friends

          Am         F
And now a slave to obsession

     D         A5 [ A ]
Your strange delight

[Interlude] (see above) | [no chord] | % | % | % | [Chorus]

Am
    You lie awake

Dadd9/A   
  How your senses ache

Am
  Shaking off the night

Dadd9/A                     [ Am ]
  Is there more strange delight?

[Verse]

Am                   F
     There goes your self

       D                    A5 (A)
In the clear forever out of line

                 Am             F
And there you'll stay through obsession

     D         A5 [ Am ]
Your strange delight

[Interlude] (see above) | [no chord] | % | % | % | [Chorus]

Am
    Can't bear this heat

Dadd9/A   
  Your poor heart skips a beat

Am
  Tearing back the years

Dadd9/A                  [ Am ]
  To when you really cared

[Verse]

Am                   F
     So where's your soul?

       D                       A5 [ A ]
In the field where every story ends

             Am           F
And then how plain your obsession

     D         A
Your strange delight

[Interlude] (see above) | [no chord] | % | % | % | [Chorus]

Am
    So this is hell

Dadd9/A   
   Not so hard to tell

Amadd9
   Better men than I

Dadd9/A                        [ Am ]
   Have tried your strange delight
