Am      D           G          C Em Am
   Lover, will you look at me now?

             D
I'm already dead to you 

G                      C                   Em          Am 
But I'm inclined to explain to you what I could not before

             D                   G
Whatever you didn't do, what you couldn't say

      C             Em           Am
I am sorry that the worst has arrived

              D
For I deserve more

       G                      C         Em      Am
For at least I deserve the respect of a kiss goodbye
Repeat: (D G C Em Am)
Am        D        G           C  Em Am
   Tell me, do you think of me now

              D
As I think of you? 

      G                         C             Em           Am
For I could not have shaken the touch of your breath on my arm

           D                  G
For it has stayed in me as an epithet

      C             Em           Am
I am sorry that the worst has arrived

               D
For I'm on the floor 

       G                         C          Em      Am
In the room where we made it our last touch of the night

        D                   G
I walked, because you walked

            C        Em       Am
But I won't probably get very far

         D               G
Sensation to what you said

             C          Em            Am
But I'm not about to expect something more

           D            G
I would not have run off

               C              Em           Am
But I couldn't bear that it's me, it's my fault

            D          G
I should not be so lost

             C       Em      Am 
But I've got nothing left to love
Repeat: (D G C Em Am)
Am      D           G          C Em Am
   Lover, will you look from me now?

             D
I'm already dead

         G                     C           Em          Am 
But I've come to explain why I left such a mess on the floor

             D                G
For when you went away I went crazy

      C               Em        Am
I was wild with the breast of a dog

                  D
I ran through the night

         G
With the knife in my chest

         C            Em       Am
With the lust of your loveless life

        D                   G
I walked, because you walked

            C        Em       Am
But I won't probably get very far

         D               G
Sensation to what you said

             C          Em            Am
But I'm not about to expect something more

           D            G
I would not have run off

               C              Em           Am
But I couldn't bear that it's me, it's my fault

            D          G
I should not be so lost

             C       Em      Am 
But I've got nothing left to love
Repeat: (D G C Em Am)
        D                   G C Em Am
I walked, because you walked                x7
