Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Watching TV tired, bleeding [C]on the bed
The [G]milk has just expired,
all the [C]leaves are dead
I'm not [G]quiet, you've been quiet,
just re[C]ceiving what you said
[G]Reeling, feeding, feeling filled
by [C]everything you fed
I [G]see you as you see yourself
through [C]all the books you read
[G]O verwhelmed with guilt
and real[C]i- zing the disease

[Chorus 1]
[G]You give me chills, I've had[C] it with the drills
I'm [G]nothing, you are nothing,
we are [C]nothing with the pills
I am [G]empty 'til she fills, a[C]live until she kills
In her [G]vampire empire,
I'm the [C]fish and she's my gills
[G]Falling, [C]yeah
Fall[G]ing, [C]yeah

[Verse 2]
I [G]see you there rejecting
[C]all your earthly power
Pro[G]tecting and dissecting
'til you've [C]emptied every hour
We [G]jump into the pond
and then we [C]come under the shower
You [G]lay upon my pillow
and you [C]open like a flower
I [G]wanted to see you naked,
I [C]wanted to hear you scream
I [G]wanted to kiss your skin
[C]and your everything
I [G]wanted to be your woman
and I [C]wanted to be your man
I [G]wanted to be the one
that [C]you could understand

[Chorus 2]
[G]You give me chills, I've had[C] it with the drills
I'm [G]nothing, you are nothing,
we are [C]nothing with the pills
I am [G]empty 'til she fills, a[C]live until she kills
In her [G]vampire empire,
I'm the [C]fish and she's my gills
[G]Falling, [C]yeah
Fall[G]ing, [C]yeah

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][C]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 3]
Well, I [G]walked into your dagger
for the [C]last time in a row
It's like [G]trying to start a fire
with match[C]es in the snow
You [G]can't seem to hold me here,
can't [C]seem to let me go
So [G]I can't find surrender,
can't [C]seem to keep control
You [G]turn me inside out
and then you [C]want the outside in
You [G]spin me all around
and then you [C]ask me not to spin
You [G]say you wanna be alone
and [C]then you want children
You [G]want to be with me
but then you [C]want to be with him

[Chorus 3]
[G]You give me chills, I've had[C] it with the drills
I'm [G]nothing, you are nothing,
we are [C]nothing with the pills
I am [G]empty 'til she fills, a[C]live until she kills
In [G]her vampire empire,
I'm the [C]fish and she's my gills
[G]Falling, [C]yeah
Fall[G]ing, [C]yeah

[Outro 1]
[G][C][G][C]
[G][C][G][C]
[Repeat and fade]
