[Verse]
E minorEm       Dsus2Dsus2    C7C7       Dsus2Dsus2
Sittin' lone inside my head, no mirrors to reflect
E minor 7Em7            Dsus2Dsus2   C7C7     Dsus2Dsus2
Is this here the season of joy or the season to inject
E minor 7Em7          D MajorD     C7C7           Dsus2Dsus2
Lord this must be judgement day, take a close look at myself

   Are you happy with the hand that you've been dealt


[Chorus]
  E minorEm     Dsus2Dsus2 C majorC     E minorEm    D MajorD    C majorC
The bells they toll silently, inflict invisible pain

Tell me which is more righteous, Chivas Regal or cocaine

Friends won't answer your phone calls, call your long distance family

As I sing on bandaged knees

On this holy day, I look to the skies
E minor 7Em7            Dsus2Dsus2     C7C7     Dsus2Dsus2
Are you tryin' to find yourself or just rearrange the time
E minor 7Em7        D MajorD   C majorC        Dsus2Dsus2
Open up your spirit boy, pass that liquid love
E minorEm         Dsus2Dsus2      C7C7      Dsus2Dsus2
  Do you prefer possessions or the purity of the dove

I play for you my love song, sung only for the damned

I wish I could spend tonight with you but you know that I can't

Look inside my black lines, telling stories without couth

You might not like what they say but they only say the truth
E minorEm N.C.    Dsus2Dsus2     C7C7         Dsus2Dsus2
  Play for me tarot, slip my neck in through the belt
E minor 7Em7               D MajorD       C majorC         Dsus2Dsus2
You can't change the ways of the game when the cards are already dealt
