IntroEmVerseEm
I heard the news today;
CG
That you’re not mine to keep.
Em
Don’t struggle too much now
CG
While I kill you in your sleep.
EmCG
What is lust if it’s not being by yourself?
EmCG
I won’t be gentle to the body on the shelf
GChorusAm
It’s only water
G
It’s only fire
Em
It’s only love
Am
It’s only slaughter
G
We’re only liars
Em
It’s only blood
Am
They’re only thoughts that I’m having;
GEm
Thoughts safe within my head.
Am
You’re only crying
G
You’re only dying
Em
You’re only late.
GGCGVerseEm
I heard the news today,
CG
That you weren’t mine to save
Em
I hope that you’re comfortable
CG
In the quiet lasting grave
EmCG
What is lust if it’s not being by yourself?
EmCG
I won’t be gentle to the body on the shelf
GChorusAm
It’s only water
G
It’s only fire
Em
It’s only love
Am
It’s only slaughter
G
We’re only liars
Em
It’s only blood
Am
They’re only thoughts that I’m having;
GEm
Thoughts safe within my head.
Am
You’re only crying
G
You’re only dying
Em
You’re only dead.
Am
It’s only water
G
It’s only fire
Em
It’s only love
Am
It’s only slaughter
G
We’re only liars
Em
It’s only blood
Am
They’re only thoughts that I’m having;
GEm
Thoughts safe within my head.
Am
You’re only crying
G
You’re only dying
Em
You’re only dead.
