Tuning: Standard

INTRO:
D

VERSE:
D
  My love is selfish,
      Em
and I bet that your's is too.
F#m7
What is this peculiar word called truth?

E7


D
   My love is selfish,
       Em
and it cares not who it hurts.
        F#m7
It will cut you out to satisfy its thirst
        E7
For the meaning of the ritual, so habitual and cursed

D
   My love is selfish,
       Em
How it separates the earth.
         F#m7
It takes every shiny stone but leaves the dirt,
        E7
for the cowards in the corner who just don't know what they're worth
             F#m7
They've been twisted by a hollow kind of pain.
         E7
Oh I can see it in their eyes but I ignore it every day, because

D
   my love is selfish,
       Em
and it remembers everything
         F#m7
Like the first time it was moved enough to sing
       E7
How it dangled on that stage just like a puppet on a string
