Fm Cm
Take a look at my body
C# G#
Look at my hands
Bbm
There's so much here
D#
That I don't understand
Fm Cm
Your face saving promises
C# G#
Whispered like prayers
G#
I don't need them
D#
I don't need them
Fm
I've been treated so wrong
C#
I've been treated so long
G# D#
As if I'm becoming untouchable
Fm Cm
Contempt loves the silence
C# G#
It thrives in the dark
Bbm
With fine winding tendrils
D#
That strangle the heart
Fm Cm
They say that promises
C# D#
Sweeten the blow
G#
But I don't need them
D#
No, I don't need them
Fm
I've been treated so wrong
C#
I've been treated so long
G# D#
As if I'm becoming untouchable
Fm
I'm a slow dying flower
C#
Frost killing hour
G#
The sweet turning sour
D#
And untouchable
