[Intro] A Em A Em D C G D C G [Verse 1]
A
Everything is rags

                               Em
And there's nobody to blame but me

A
And it would be so easy

                               Em
If there was no one to hurt but me

                        D
But now everything that I do

       C
Comin' out of me

                       G
Will just tear through you

            D
In and out of you

       C
Up and down your life

       G
Like a curse
[Verse 2]
        A
Cast by the only son of rags

                                       Em
Who would wrap you up in all the finest tatters

 A
But he wanted nothin'

                                       Em
more my loved one than to wrap you up in joy

                     D
But it never be with me

          C
- you and I are like

    G
Two worlds

              D
Not meant to collide

         C
Death to each other

                      G
In the unravelling of time
[Verse 3] So Tell me
A
How do you, how do you, how do you

           Em
How do you like it?

A
What kind of, what kind of, what kind of dream

           Em
Would you call it.

                    D
To have one foot in Eden

            C
One foot in Hell

             G
To be always numb

           D
Plagued by demons

            C
Summoned by Angels
At the same time
G
Endlessly
[Verse 4]
A
But I will burn me

                   Em
Right out of this place

A
I will lay you down to sleep

             Em
So when you wake
I'll be gone
    D
And You

     C
Will remember

G
Nothing

D
You

     C
Will remember

G
Nothing
