D/F#m/F/B/Em/A Bb/F C/Ab/Ab/Bb D/E/Gm/D

I can look into your eyes
And taste one hundred lies
But I still can’t understand
What the hell they were thinking
Sending you to this world

I could make a movie too
Or write a trashy novel
That only sells in airports
But I could never understand
Sending you to this world

The reasons may be none
But your soul shines like a sun
And there’s a reason for a sun
So I might burn myself up trying to understand
Them sending you to this world

Another day, another doll
Another phone call from the mall
I wake up screaming
Another howl without a sound
Another bloodless silent hour
I need to wake up screaming
Another flash without a past
Another fight for living now
I might just wake up screaming

In the blackened alabaster of a life that never really hit a note to satisfy your inner space
And I'm laid out in my minds street and I'm not looking for a reward other than my lover’s arms and the end of feeling judged
I think we might as well be back in space where we used to feel so happy, spinning like two butterflies without a single wheel to crush us
But I'm lonely, lonely lonely without my entire universe, and you’re frightened and so cold but I don’t think it’s getting worse

I look into your eyes
I now remember who we are
I might just realise
What the hell they were thinking
Sending us back to this world

Baby take a weight off your whole existence
And send it all home to me
