[Verse 1]
[D5]Wher[D]ever[C#m] I go,
there too [D5]shall [D]be [C#m]grief.[E][A#]
[D#m](My love) doting [E]on me, [F#5]ten de[D5]rly.[D#m]
[C#5]Vacant[C#m] praise for her hollow man.
[E]Such poise.
[A#5]What l[C#5]oy alt[D#m]y.
[D5]What elegance.
[D]Inspi[C#m]red lust in a languid tongue.
[E](Ga[A#]ve blood) and fou[F#5]nd
[E]me where [D5]there once [C#m]was none.
So I burned the bridge she'd
have taken to leave.
[E]Each one.
[Bb]She's [F#5]all I [E]have le[D5]ft.
C'est [D]la vie.[D5]
[D]C'est la vie.

[Verse 2]
[C#m]The more it sp[D]reads
[C#m]the closer I [C#5]come.
[C#m](Better off behind y[E]our
back)
[C#5]Where we con[D] su[C#m]mmate in the
presence of [D]none.[C#m][D]
(Dead weight [E]don't [D5]wait)[C#m][C#5]
For the [C#m]violent and endless
[D]stream
[C#m](A spineless yet sup po[D]rti[E]ng [F]cast[D])[C#m]
Of charmless that are harming
[D]me.[C#m][D5][E]
[D]From

[Verse 3]
[C#m]the cradle [E]to [D]the[E] grave it[D]
has been [E]a w[D5]alk o[C#m]f sham[C#5]e.
[C#m]What did you think that your absence could bring,
[E]old friend?[C#m]
[D#m]My hea[F#5]rt, it [E5]burns[D5]
with cav[C#5]it ies[C#m].
A slur couldn't rouse the
sadness I've seen.
[E]Look close.
[D#m]That b[F#]eauty is l[D5]ife
and she's [C#m]with m[D]e.
[C#m]Flaunted indifference is cheap cologne.
Act[E]or, [Bb]you speak [F#5]of[F#]
[D5]me in formal t[C#m]ones.
To the gutless dogs that have
cried mutiny.
[E]Know [C#m]this: [Bb5]maroon[F#5]ed with g[D#m]rief,
[D]I'm ric[D5]her tha[D]n kings.
[Dm]From [D]the [D5]cradle [F]to [C#m]the gr[D]ave it[D5] has been[D] a wal[D5]k of s[C#m]hame.

[Verse 4]
[C#m][C#5][Bb][C#5]
[C#m]I am d[E]ead.[C#m][D5]
[D]What is [C#m]one less wo[E]rm?[C#m][C#5][Bb]
[C#5]Second[C#m]s off [E]of a[D]
[C#m]prisoner[E]'s term?[C#m]
[C#5]This i[Bb5]s hell[C#5].[C#m][E]
[D5]You [D]brought [D5]a candle[C#m]
[E]to burn?[C#m][C#5][Bb]
[C#5]I am d[C#m]eath.[E]
