Em D
take a look at my body
C G
look at my hands
Am
there's so much here
D
that I don't understand 


Em D
your face saving promises
C G
whispered like prayers
G
I don't need them
D
I don't need them 


Em 
I've been treated so wrong
G
I've been treated so long
Em D
as if I'm becoming untouchable


Em D
contempt loves the silence
C G
it thrives in the dark
Am 
with fine winding tendrils
D
that strangle the heart 


Em D
they say that promises
C G
sweeten the blow
G
but I don't need them
D
no, I don't need them 


Em 
I've been treated so wrong
G 
I've been treated so long
Em D
as if I'm becoming untouchable 


Em
I'm a slow dying flower
G
frost killing hour
Em
the sweet turning sour
D
and untouchable 

o, I need
Em
the darkness

the sweetness
G
the sadness

the weakness
D
I need this 

I need
Em
a lullaby

a kiss goodnight
G
angel sweet

love of my life
D
o, I need this 


G D
do you remember the way
C G
that you touched me before
Am
all the trembling sweetness
D
I loved and adored? 


Em G 
your face saving promises
C G
whispered like prayers
G
I don't need them
D
no, I don't need them 

o, I need
Em
the darkness

the sweetness
G
the sadness

the weakness
Em D
I need this 

I need
Em
a lullaby

a kiss goodnight
G
the angel sweet

love of my life
Em D
I need this 


Em
is it dark enough? 

can you see me? 
G Em
do you want me? 

can you reach me? 
Em D
or I'm leaving 


Em 
you better shut your mouth

hold your breath
G Em
kiss me now you'll catch my death
D
o, I mean it
