Carnation Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]If you gave me a fre[C]sh carna[G]tion
I would only crush its [Bb]tender [D]petals[Am]
With me you'll have [C]no escape
[G]And at the same time there'll be
[Bb]nowhere to [D]settle [Gm]-
[D]I trample [Gm]down[Bb] all life [Edim]in my wake[Eb]
I eat [F]it [D]up and take the [Bm]cake
I just aver[E]t my eyes to
the [Am]pain
Of someone's [D]loss helping my [Am]gain
If you gave me a dream
[C]for my poc[G]ket
You'd be [Gm]plugging [G]in the
[Bb]wrong sock[D]et[Am]
With me there's no [C]room
for [G]the future
With me there's [Gm]no r[Bb]oom
with a view at [D]all [Gm]-
I am out of [Bb]sea son
[Edim]all year 'ro[Eb]und
[Cm]Hear machinery [D]roar to my
empty [Bm]sound
Touch my [E]heart and feel [Am]winter
Hold my [D]hand and be doomed [Cm]forever[Bb][Cm][Bb][Am][F]
[Am][Em][F][G][E][D][E][Am][C]
[G]-[Bb][Dm][Am][C][G][Bb][Dm][Am]

[Verse 2]
If you gave me [C]a fresh [G]carnation
I would only crush its [Bb]tender [D]petals[Am]
With me you'll have [C]no [G]escape
And at the same time there'll
be [Bb]nowhere to settle.
[D]And [Gm]if you're wondering
[Bb]by now w[Edim]ho I am[Eb]
[Cm]Look [F]no fur[D]ther than the mir[Bm]ror -
Because I [E]am the Greed and [Am]Fear
And every [D]ounce of Hate in you.
