[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Dm][F][Am]
[G][Dm][F][Am][G][Dm][F]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Sharp and open,
[G]leave me alone
And [Dm]sleeping less every [F]night
As the [Am]days become heavier
and [G]weighted
Waiting in [Dm]the cold [F]light
A noise, a [Am]scream tears my clothes as
the fig[G]urines [Dm]tighten
With spiders [F]inside them
And dust on the [Am]lips of a vision of [G]hell
I laughed in the [Dm]mir ror for t[F]he first time
[Am]in a year

[Interlude 1]
[G][Dm][F][Am][G][Dm][F]

[Verse 2]
A [Am]hundred other words [G]blind
me with your [Dm]pur i[F]ty
Like an [Am]old painted doll in
the [G]throes of dance
[Dm]I think about tomorrow,
[F]please let me sle[Am]ep
As I slip down the win[G]dow,
[Dm]freshly squashed [F]fly
You [Am]mean [G]nothing
You mean [Dm]nothing

[Interlude 2]
[F][Am][Eb][Am][Eb][Am][Eb][Am]
[Eb][Am][G]
[Dm][F][Am][G][Dm][F][Am]
[G][Dm][F][Am][G][Dm][F]

[Verse 3]
I can [Am]lose myself in [G]Chinese
art and Amer[Dm]ican [F]girls
All the [Am]time, lose me in the [G]dark
Please do it [Dm]right, [F]run into the nig[Am]ht
I will lose [G]myself tomorrow
[Dm]Crimson pain, my [F]heart explodes
My [Am]memory in a [G]fire
And someone will [Dm]listen
At [F]least for a short while

[Interlude 3]

(I can [Dm]never say no)

I can never say no to anyone but you
[Am][G][Dm][F][Am]
[G][Dm][F][Am][G][Dm][F]
[Am][G][Dm][F]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Too many secrets, too [G]many lies
[Dm]Writhing with [F]hatred
[Am]Too many secrets,
[G]please make it good tonight
[Dm]But [F]the same[Am] image haunts me
In [G]se quence, in despair of [Dm]time

[Verse 6]
I will [F]never be clean again
[Am]I touched her eyes[G]
Pressed my [Dm]stained face
I will [F]never be clean [Am]again

[Verse 7]
Touched her eye[G]s
Pressed my [Dm]stained face
I will [F]never be clean again
[Am][G]

I will [F]never be clean [Am]again[G][Dm]
I will [F]never be clean [Am]again[G][Dm]
I will [F]never be clean again
