Intro: C majorC (x3)

Riff 1: C, Bb majorBb

C majorC         Bb majorBb
Wake up in the dark
C majorC         Bb majorBb      C majorC       Bb, C, Bb, C majorC
The after-taste of anger in the back of my mouth
C majorC        Bb majorBb
Spit it on the wall
C majorC        Bb majorBb
And cough some more
        C majorC        Bb majorBb  C, Bb majorBb
And scrape my skin with razor blades

  D#D#
And make up in the new blood
  D MajorD        A#mA#m
And try to look so good
    C majorC Bb, C, Bb majorBb
Follow me
D#D#
Make up in the new blood
   D MajorD       A#mA#m        C, Bb, C majorC
And follow me to where the real fun is

C majorC    Bb majorBb
Ha ha ha
 C majorC      Bb majorBb      C majorC
As stale and selfish as a sick dog
Bb majorBb    C majorC      Bb majorBb      C majorC  Bb majorBb
Spurning sex like an animal of god
C majorC            Bb majorBb   C majorC
I'll tear your red hair by the roots
          Bb majorBb
And hold you blazing
     C majorC           Bb majorBb       C, Bb majorBb
Hold you cherished in the dead electric light
   D#D#
Your face
         D MajorD   A#mA#m   C majorC  Bb, C, Bb majorBb
I'll never see you this way a---gain
 D#D#
I captured it so perfectly
   D MajorD       A#mA#m    C, Bb, C, Bb majorBb
As if I knew you'd disappear away

D#D#
Shake shake shake shake
D MajorD
Shake shake shake shake

Shake dog shake

D#D#
Shake shake shake shake
D MajorD
Shake shake shake shake
A#mA#m    C majorC  Bb majorBb C majorC
Shake dog shake

  Bb majorBb
You hit me again
  C majorC        Bb majorBb
You howl and hit me again
        C majorC
The same sharp pain
Bb majorBb
Wakes me in the dark
   C majorC              Bb majorBb
And cuts me from my throat to my pounding heart
  D#D#
My heart
  D MajorD
My shaking heart
      C majorC
My howl my shake dog

    D#D#           D MajorD    A#mA#m
But we slept all night in the virgin's bed
        C majorC
And dreamed of death
            Bb majorBb C majorC
And breathed like sick dogs
  D#D#           D MajorD    A#mA#m
We slept all night in the virgin's bed

And breathed like death
