Guitar ONE (power chords) :
Intro : C5 Bb5 F5 G#5 C5 Bb5 F5 G#5 C5 Bb5 F5 G#5
C5 Bb5
Sharp and open, leave me alone
F5 G#5
And sleeping less every night
C5 Bb5
As the days become heavier and weighted
F5 G#5
Waiting in the cold light
C5 Bb5 F5
A noise, a scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten
G#5
With spiders inside them
C5 Bb5
And dust on the lips of a vision of hell
F5 G#5
I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year.
C5 Bb5 F5 G#5 }*2 (with Rhythm Figure 1)
C5 Bb5 F5 G#5
A hundred other words blind me with your purity
C5 Bb5
Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance
F5 G#5
I think about tomorrow
C5
Please let me sleep
Bb5
As I slip down the window
F5 G#5
Freshly sqashed fly
C5 Bb5 F5 G#5
You mean nothing, you mean nothing.
C5 F#5 C5 F#5 }*2 (with Rhythm Figure 3)
C5 Bb5 F5 G#5 }*4 (Rhythm Figure 1 twice, then 6, then 1 again)
C5 Bb5 F5 G#5
I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls
C5
All the time
B5b
Lose me in the dark
F5 G#5
Please do it right
C5
Running into the night
Bb5
I will lose myself tomorrow
F5 G#5
Crimson pain, my heart explodes
C5 Bb5
My memory in a fire
F5
And someone will listen
G#5
At least for a short while.
C5 F#5 C5 F#5 }*2 (with Rhythm Figure 3)

(I can never say no)
F5 F5
I can never say no to anyone but you.
C5 Bb5 F5 G#5 }*4 (with Rhythm Figure 2 twice, then 6, then 2 again)
C5 Bb5
Too many secrets, too many lies
F5 G#5
Writhing with hatred
C5 Bb5 F5 G#5
Too many secrets, please make it good tonight
C5
But the same image haunts me
Bb5 F5
In sequence, in despair of time
G#5 C5
I will never be clean again
Bb5 F5
Touched her eyes, pressed my stained face
G#5 C5
I will never be clean again (with Rhythm Figure 1)
Bb5 F5
Touch her eyes, press my stained face
G#5 C5 Bb5 F5
I will never be clean again

I will never be clean again

I will never be clean again
G#5
I will never be clean again.
