C#m B F#m A
[Verse 1]
C#m B Sharp and open, leave me alone F#m A And sleeping less every night C#m B As the days become heavier and weighted F#m A Waiting in the cold light C#m B A noise, a scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten F#m A With spiders inside them and dust C#m B And the lips of a vision of hell F#m A C#m I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year

[Verse 2]
C#m B F#m A A hundred other words blind me with your purity C#m B Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance F#m I think about tomorrow A Please let me sleep C#m B As I slip down the window F#m A Freshly squashed fly C#m B You mean nothing F#m A You mean nothing

C#m B F#m A I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls C#m B F#m All the time, lose me in the dark, please do it right A C#m B Run into the night, I will lose myself tomorrow F#m A Crimson pain, my heart explodes C#m B F#m My memory in a fire, and someone will listen A At least for a short while

[Verse 4]
C#m B Too many secrets, too many lies F#m A Writhing with hatred C#m B F#m A Too many secrets, please make it good tonight C#m B F#m But the same image haunts me, in sequence, in despair of time A I will never be clean again C#m B F#m I touched her eyes, pressed my stained face A I will never be clean again C#m B F#m Touched her eyes, press my stained face A I will never be clean again
[Outro]
C#m B F#m A I will never be clean again C#m B F#m A I will never be clean again C#m B F#m A I will never be clean again
