Intro: C (x3)

Riff 1: C, Bb

C                  Bb
Wake up in the dark
C                  Bb            C              Bb, C, Bb, C
The after-taste of anger in the back of my mouth
C                Bb
Spit it on the wall
C               Bb
And cough some more
               C                Bb   C, Bb
And scrape my skin with razor blades

    D# 
And make up in the new blood
    D               A#m
And try to look so good
        C  Bb, C, Bb
Follow me
D#
Make up in the new blood
     D             A#m               C, Bb, C
And follow me to where the real fun is

C       Bb
Ha ha ha
 C            Bb           C
As stale and selfish as a sick dog
Bb        C           Bb           C    Bb
Spurning sex like an animal of god
C                       Bb      C
I'll tear your red hair by the roots
                    Bb
And hold you blazing
         C                     Bb             C, Bb
Hold you cherished in the dead electric light
      D#
Your face
                  D      A#m     C    Bb, C, Bb
I'll never see you this way a---gain
  D#
I captured it so perfectly
     D             A#m        C, Bb, C, Bb
As if I knew you'd disappear away

You hit me again
    C               Bb
You howl and hit me again
                C
The same sharp pain
Bb
Wakes me in the dark
     C                           Bb
And cuts me from my throat to my pounding heart

My heart

My shaking heart

My howl my shake dog

But we slept all night in the virgin's bed
                C
And dreamed of death
                        Bb  C
And breathed like sick dogs
