Thanks to Christian Korbanka for this one, his tab was useful for the guitar solo and
the 6 and maj7 chords which I thought were just major.

Am               C                G                       Bb
If you gave me a fresh carnation, I would only crush it's tender petals,
Am                       C          G                               Bb
With me here you'll have no escape, and at the same time there'd be nowhere to settle.

Gm /F#     /F       /E         Eb6            D               Bm
I  trample down all life in my wake, I eat it up and take the cake,
        E                   Am                 D               Am
I just avert my eyes to the pain, of someone's loss helping my gain.

Am               C                    G                        Bb
If you gave me a dream for my pocket, you'd be plugging in the wrong socket,
Am                      C                    G                       Bb
With me here there's no room for the future, with me here there's no room with a view at all.

Gm   /F#    /F     /E       Eb                    D                Bm
I am out of season all year round, hear machinery roar to my empty sound,
         E              Am              D                     Cm
Touch my heart and feel winter, hold my hand and be doomed forever.


Cm Bb6 (x2) Am F6 Am Em7 Fmaj G6 E
(guitar solo)

Am C G Bb (x2)
(piano solo)

Am               C                G                       Bb
If you gave me a fresh carnation, I would only crush it's tender petals,
Am                       C          G                               Bb
With me here you'll have no escape, and at the same time there'd be nowhere to settle.

Gm            /F#  /F      /E        Eb6         D                Bm
And if you're wondering by now who I am, look no further than the mirror,
          E                Am              D                Cm
Because I am the greed and fear, and every ounce of hate in you.


Cm D Bm E Am D (repeat x2 and fade)
