Intro:
Em
Verse 1:
Em
Am I the snake inside your garden?
Em
The sugar in your tea?
Em
The knock upon your back door?
Em
The twist that turns your key?
Em
Am I the sweat you feel on your hand?
Em
The shadow on your face?
Em
The tune inside your head
Em
That put you here in the first place?
Em
Well, I don't wanna be
Em
I don't wanna be
Em
I don't wanna be your sweet temptation
Em
Don't wanna be your new sensation
Em
It's such a delicate distraction
Em
With just a hint of satisfaction
Chorus:
Em
Look me in the eye and let me know
C Em
If you can't love me, then let me go
Em
Let me go
C
Let me go
Am
Let me go
Em
Oh
Verse 2:
Em
Do you try to stay suspended
Em
In your deepest fantasy?
Em
After night has ended
Em
The scent of mystery
Em
The power of suggestion
Em
Tangles up your soul
Em
A neutral state between love and hate
Em
Is bound to take its toll
Em
Well, I don't think you know
Em
I don't think you know
Em
I don't think you know about the screaming
Em
You don't understand the meaning
Em
You could trade it in for laughter
Em
To keep your happy ever after
Chorus:
Em
Look me in the eye then let me know
C Em
If you can't love me, then let me go
Em
Let me go
C
Let me go
Am
Let me go
Em
Oh
Bridge:
Am
Baby, in your ivory tower
Em
Do you sleep tight, dream fight?
Em
Baby, does it whet your appetite?
Am
Maybe in your darkest hour
F# D A
Am I the keeper of your beast?
Em
Well, I don't wanna be
Em
I don't wanna be
Em
So let me go
C Am
Let me go
Em
Oh
