Chords with lyrics

A minorAm     FF     G+G      E minorEm
I'm clicking your fingers for a gothic twilight
   A minorAm     FF     G+G      E minorEm
That actually existed just in your head
 FF            E minorEm
Your fingernails painted black
    FF
Or bloodred
   G+G     G7G7
I forget

 FF         G+G
And your fake-leather volumes
 C majorC      A minorAm
Jabbering on hell
 FF     G+G          E minorEm      A minorAm
Manifest decadence was what you hoped to exhail
 FF        G+G       A minorAm
Your eyes tried so hard to glitter

  A minorAm      FF
A augmentedA star-snuffing black
   G+G        E minorEm
So you opened your books
  A minorAm      FF
And you opened your legs
   G+G       E minorEm
And so opened your heart
   FF       E minorEm
And let in the badness
   FF
You claimed
   G+G     G7G7
As your friend


  A minorAm       FF
With un-angels hovering
  G+G       E minorEm
Like flies round the orchard
  A minorAm       FF
That had covered your soul
  G+G       E minorEm
Their empire increasing
   FF     E minorEm
And your country
   FF      G+G    G7G7
Deserted by yourself

   FF   G+G     C majorC      A minorAm
The bells of St. Mary call us to remember
   FF   G+G    E minorEm
That life is with end
   FF         G+G
And the gestures can kill us
   C majorC     A minorAm
Moreover destroy
   FF    G+G       A minorAm
And there is one judgment only

  A minorAm        FF
Your letters came daily
   G+G        E minorEm
In French or in German
  A minorAm        FF
But they meant to me nothing
   G+G        E minorEm
I caught the slow cords
  FF   E minorEm   FF     G+G    G7G7
And dry ice fogging your mind

  FF  G+G   C majorC    A minorAm
I see all too clearly now
  FF  G+G     E minorEm
Why you could be discarded
  FF         G+G
And though I could pray for you
  C majorC      A minorAm
I probably shan't
  FF    G+G     E minorEm
Having had my cup filled up
  FF
With your lies
     G+G       C majorC    A minorAm
And your makeup
  FF    G+G
You were nothing
  C majorC         A minorAm
Thinking you're something

  FF  G+G     C majorC           A minorAm
And nonetheless I still write this gothic lovesong
  FF  G+G
A augmentedA sign to myself
  C majorC         A minorAm
And the memory of my past
  FF  G+G      C majorC     A minorAm
I still write this gothic lovesong
  FF  G+G
A augmentedA sign to myself
  C majorC         A minorAm
And the memory of my past
  FF     G+G      A minorAm
And a way to shut out your face
