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

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

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

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

Verse 3:

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

At the same time
G
Endlessly

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

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