Am                     F
    So there goes your life
     D                       A5 (A)
Disappeared from ever loving friends
          Am         F
And now a slave to obsession
     D         A5 (A)
Your strange delight

CHORUS
Am
    You lie awake
Asus4add13
  How your senses ache
Am
  Shaking off the night
Asus4add13                  [Am]
  Is there more strange delight?


VERSE
Am                   F
     There goes your self
       D                    A5 (A)
In the clear forever out of line
                 Am             F
And there you'll stay through obsession
     D         A5 (A)
Your strange delight

CHORUS
Am
    Can't bear this heat
Asus4add13
  Your poor heart skips a beat
Am
  Tearing back the years
Asus4add13               [Am]
  To when you really cared


VERSE
Am                   F
     So where's your soul?
       D                       A5 (A)
In the field where every story ends
             Am           F
And then how plain your obsession
     D         A
Your strange delight

Am
    So this is hell
Asus4add13
   Not so hard to tell
Amadd9
   Better men than I
Asus4add13                     [Am]
   Have tried your strange delight
