VERSE:
D MajorD
My love is selfish,
E minorEm
and I bet that your's is too.
F#m7F#m7
What is this peculiar word called truth?
E7E7
D MajorD
My love is selfish,
E minorEm
and it cares not who it hurts.
F#m7F#m7
It will cut you out to satisfy its thirst
E7E7
For the meaning of the ritual, so habitual and cursed
D MajorD
My love is selfish,
E minorEm
How it separates the earth.
F#m7F#m7
It takes every shiny stone but leaves the dirt,
E7E7
for the cowards in the corner who just don't know what they're worth
F#m7F#m7
They've been twisted by a hollow kind of pain.
E7E7
Oh I can see it in their eyes but I ignore it every day, because
D MajorD
my love is selfish,
E minorEm
and it remembers everything
F#m7F#m7
Like the first time it was moved enough to sing
E7E7
How it dangled on that stage just like a puppet on a string
