Intro: Am, F, E (x2) X
(Verse 1)
XXXX F#m
I feel it welling up inside
D
And Robert Smith lied,
E F#m
Boys do cry and with
D E F#m
Blood tears in my eyes I’m an Anne Rice novel come to life.
D E
I can’t hide the monster… anymore.
F#m D E
One can, only feel desolate for so long until
Asus2(x) Am(x)
One starts to change into
F(x)
Something the mirror doesn't recognize.
Metamorphosize.
G(x) F#sus2
The darkness has been biding its time
Am(x)
To claim its latest victim,
F(x)
Fresh meat for carnal desires,
G(x)
To become, what I became.
I viewed the sun for the last time.
(Chorus)
D E F#m
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
D E F#m
Will you still kiss me the same,
D
When you taste my victim’s blood?
E
So crimson and red,
C#m D C#m
I feel it flowing from your lips. (Crimson and red)
My heart is dead and so are you.
(Verse 2)
F#m
And it pulses through,
D
The desire to change, to deconstruct
All of my,
E F#m
All of my, past failings.
But where to begin, because when you live in sin
D
It’s hard to look at saints,
E
Without them reflecting your jet black aura back on you.
F#m
And all I have is hope
My inner burn’s not fading,
D E
I’ll wipe the blood from my cheek and get on with my day.
(Chorus)
D E F#m
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
D E F#m
Will you still kiss me the same,
D
When you taste my victim’s blood?
E
So crimson and red,
C#m D C#m
I feel it flowing from your lips. (Crimson and red)
My heart is dead and so are you.
(Bridge)
F#m F#sus2
And all I have is hope
F#m F#sus2
And all I need is time
D E
To bury in pine under six feet of time
F#m
The lies I told me about myself.
F#sus
Claw my way out,
F#m F#sus
Pick the splinters from under my fingernails.
D
I won’t lose hope,
E
I won’t give in.
C#m D
Just live and breathe, try not to die again.
C#m D
Just live and breathe, try not to die again.
C#m D E
Just live and breathe, try not to die again.
I try not to die again.
(Chorus V.2)
Eb F D
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
Eb F D
Will you still kiss me the same,
Eb
When you taste my victim’s blood?
F
So crimson and red,
D Eb F2
I feel it flowing from your lips. (Crimson and red)
My heart is dead and so are you.
(Chorus/End)
Eb F D
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
Eb F D
Will you still kiss me the same,
Eb
When you taste my victim’s blood?
F
So crimson and red,
Eb F D
I feel it flowing from your lips.(When you taste my victim's blood)
My heart is dead and so are you.
