Verse 1
Cmaj9 Em/D
Oh, I miss the kiss of treachery
Em9
The shameless kiss of vanity
Cmaj9 Em/D
The soft and the black and the velvety
Em9
Up tight against the side of me
Cmaj9 Em/D
And mouth and eyes and heart all bleed
Em9
And run in thickening streams of greed
Cmaj9 Em/D
As bit by bit it starts the need
Em9
To just let go my party piece

Verse 2
Cmaj9 Em/D
I miss the kiss of treachery
Em9
The aching kiss before I feed
Cmaj9 Em/D
The stench of a love for a younger meat
Em9
And the sound that it makes
when it cuts in deep
Cmaj9 Em/D
The holding up on bended knees
Em9
The addiction of duplicities
Cmaj9 Em/D
As bit by bit it starts the need
Em9
To just let go my party piece
Chorus 1
Cmaj9 Em/D
But I never said I would stay to the end
Em9
So I leave you with babies
and hoping for frequency
Cmaj9 Em/D
Screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy
Em9
Screaming me over and over and over
Cmaj9
I leave you with photographs,
Em/D
pictures of trickery
Em9
Stains on the carpet
and stains on the scenery
Cmaj9 Em/D
Songs about happiness murmured in dreams
Em9
When we both of us knew how the

ending would be

Verse 3
Cmaj9
So it's all come back round to
Em/D
breaking apart again
Em9
Breaking apart like I'm made up of glass again
Cmaj9 Em/D
Making it up behind my back again
Em9
Holding my breath for the fear of sleep again
Cmaj9 Em/D
Holding it up behind my head again
Em9
Cut in deep to the heart of the bone again
Cmaj9 Em/D
Round and round and round
Em9
and it's coming apart again
Over and over and over
Bridge 1
C
And now that I know know that
Bm
I'm breaking to pieces
Em9
I'll pull out my heart and I'll feed it to anyone
C Bm
I'm crying for sympathy, crocodiles cry
Em9
For the love of the crowd
And the three cheers from everyone
C
Dropping through sky
Bm
Through the glass of the roof
Em9
Through the roof of your mouth
Through the mouth of your eye
C
Through the eye of the needle
Bm Em9
It's easier for me to get closer to Heaven
Chorus 2
Than ever feel whole again
Cmaj9 D/F#
But I never said I would stay to the end
Em9
I knew I would leave you
and fame isn't everything
Cmaj9 D/F#
Screaming like this in the hope of sincerity
Em9
Screaming it's over and over and over
Cmaj9
I leave you with photographs,
D/F#
pictures of trickery
Em9
Stains on the carpet
and stains on the memory
Cmaj9 D/F#
Songs about happiness murmured in dreams
Em9
When we both of us knew how the
Cmaj9 Em/D
end always is
Em9
How the end always is

Oh I miss the kiss of treachery
The shameless kiss of vanity
The soft and the black and the velvety
Up tight against the side of me
And mouth and eyes and heart all bleed
And run in thickening streams of greed
As bit by bit it starts the need
To just let go
My party piece
Oh I miss the kiss of treachery
The aching kiss before I feed
The stench of a love for a younger meat
And the sound that it makes
When it cuts in deep
The holding up on bended knees
The addiction of duplicities
As bit by bit it starts the need
To just let go
My party piece
I never said I would stay to the end
So I leave you with babies and hoping for frequency
Screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy
Screaming me over and over and over
I leave you with photographs
Pictures of trickery
Stains on the carpet and
Stains on the scenery
Songs about happiness murmured in dreams
When we both us knew
How the ending would be...
So it's all come back round to breaking apart again
Breaking apart like I'm made up of glass again
Making it up behind my back again
Holding my breath for the fear of sleep again
Holding it up behind my head again
Cut in deep to the heart of the bone again
Round and round and round
And it's coming apart again
Over and over and over
Now that I know that I'm breaking to pieces
I'll pull out my heart
And I'll feed it to anyone
Crying for sympathy
Crocodiles cry for the love of the crowd
And the three cheers from everyone
Dropping through sky
Through the glass of the roof
Through the roof of your mouth
Through the mouth of your eye
Through the eye of the needle
It's easier for me to get closer to heaven
Than ever feel whole again
I never said I would stay to the end
I knew I would leave you with babies and everything
Screaming like this in the hole of sincerity
Screaming me over and over and over
I leave you with photographs
Pictures of trickery
Stains on the carpet and
Stains on the memory
Songs about happiness murmured in dreams
When we both of us knew
How the end always is
How the end always is
How the end always is
How the end always is
How the end always is
Always is
Always is
Always is
