Intro:
C D
It's hard to watch you stand in your own way
Em Bm
Running from a feeling you can't face
C D
Never stay too long in the same place
Em Bm
Baby, I will wait
C D
So tell me to go
Em Bm
I won't, I won't
C D
Be better off alone
Em Bm
I know
C D
You keep me at a distance, love from afar
Ebdim Em
Scared of what you might find, afraid of the dark
C D
Buried and imprisoned behind iron bars
Ebdim Em
I can't reach your heart, it's under guard, it's under-

Verse 1:
C D
Habits that she can't, that she can't let go
Em Bm
Trying to hold on to the devil she knows
C D
I'm fighting day and night for a dying rose
Em Bm
Dying slow
Chorus:
C D
There's poison in her garden, keeping her heart guarded
Ebdim Em
Death by even just a taste, her love never leaves a trace
C D
Angel oh she's fallen, keeping her heart guarded
Ebdim Em
You'll never make it out alive but she'll let you stay the night
Verse 2:
C D
Shadows closing in, closing in on her
Em Bm
Echos of the pain only getting worse
C D
But I'll hold onto her even when it burns
Em Bm
Her love's a curse
Chorus:
C D
There's poison in her garden, keeping her heart guarded
Ebdim Em
Death by even just a taste, her love never leaves a trace
C D
Angel oh she's fallen, keeping her heart guarded
Ebdim Em
You'll never make it out alive but she'll let you stay the night

Bridge:
C D
These castle walls are crumbling, there's cracks all through the stone
Ebdim Em
Armour slowly falling til there's nowhere else to go
C D
Hold onto me baby and you'll never be alone
Ebdim Em
Alone, again
Chorus:
C D
There's poison in her garden, keeping her heart guarded
Ebdim Em
Death by even just a taste, her love never leaves a trace
C D
Angel oh she's fallen, keeping her heart guarded
Ebdim Em
You'll never make it out alive but she'll let you stay the night
