Key: Em Tuning: E A D G B E 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 [Instrumental Outro] C Am Em C Am Em C Em D Em C Em D Em C Em D Em C Em
