  I'm in the other room

  Nothing happened

Make it quick

  Under the LEDs

  Til I'm sea sick.

Nothing lasts

You'll be in silk and I'll wear my furs
B         C#m
We can go out
            E
I feel your mouth
        A
Open me up
           E
Butcher my heart
              A                           G#m  B
Please let me die on the street where you live.
