Em                                                         Bm
I am your poison candygram, the love that's meant to fade away

                       Am                              Em  
Vade retro, alter ego, move aside, I'm choking on this life

                                                        Bm
I think I tolerate your hate, as long as you're afraid

                    Am                           C
All I wanted was to be with you and suffer every day

                        Am         
Under the moon I hold a wake for a promise torn

                           B         C
Mortally wounded, feelings sheltered me

                     Am
Once again my shadow will enter your life

                         B          Em
Time to walk with me the last mile

                                                     Bm
I read a book about a man, a love, a woman, how they died

                       Am                            Em
How I was waved aside, listen how the headless doves cry

                                                  Bm
I truly see a madman in the mirror when I'm weak

                         Am                   C       
I spent a year in love before I realized it's me

                             Am
Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore

                         B           C
Make me believe it, oh I know you're lying

                            Am
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why

                     B              
Could I let you wait out the night

Em                                 D                Em
Mother always said “My son, do the noble thing..."

You have to finish what you started, no matter what, now sit, watch and learn

                                           D           Em
"It's not how long you live, but what your morals say"

                 C                   Am                G     D/F#  Em
Cannot keep your part of the deal so don't say a word, don't say a word

                                                        Bm
It won't be long now, love, like mist I slowly fill the room

                               Am                              Em
I place a black candle on your chest, the path of night is manifest

                                              Bm
I never wanted us to end up in this catatonic phase

                       Am               C
It was not me who ran away, you made me stray

                             Am      
Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore

                         B        C
Make me believe it, oh I know you lie

                            Am                  
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why

                                B
Settling the score, we pass the twilight

           D                  Bm             A      E         F#m
