Verse 1:
A augmentedA
Everything is rags
                E minorEm
And there's nobody to blame but me
A augmentedA
And it would be so easy
                E minorEm
If there was no one to hurt but me
            D MajorD
But now everything that I do
    C majorC
Comin' out of me
            G+G
Will just tear through you
      D MajorD
In and out of you
    C majorC
Up and down your life
    G+G
Like a curse

Verse 2:
    A augmentedA
Cast by the only son of rags
                    E minorEm
Who would wrap you up in all the finest tatters

 A augmentedA
But he wanted nothin'
                    E minorEm
more my loved one than to wrap you up in joy

           D MajorD
But it never be with me
     C majorC
- you and I are like
  G+G
Two worlds
       D MajorD
Not meant to collide
     C majorC
Death to each other
           G+G
In the unravelling of time

Verse 3:

So Tell me
A augmentedA
How do you, how do you, how do you
      E minorEm
How do you like it?
A augmentedA
What kind of, what kind of, what kind of dream
      E minorEm
Would you call it.
          D MajorD
To have one foot in Eden
      C majorC
One foot in Hell
       G+G
To be always numb
      D MajorD
Plagued by demons
      C majorC
Summoned by Angels

At the same time
G+G
Endlessly

Verse 4:
A augmentedA
But I will burn me
          E minorEm
Right out of this place
A augmentedA
I will lay you down to sleep
       E minorEm
So when you wake

I'll be gone
  D MajorD
And You
   C majorC
Will remember
G+G
Nothing
D MajorD
You
   C majorC
Will remember
G+G
Nothing
