Intro : C5 B5 F5 Gis5 C5 B5 F5 Gis5 C5 B5 F5 Gis5

C5Sharp and open, B5leave me alone
And F5sleeping leGis5ss every night
As the C5days become heaB5vier and weighted
Waiting F5in the cold light Gis5   
A noise, a C5scream tears my clotheB5s as the figurinesF5 tighten
With spiders inGis5side them
And dust on the C5lips of a vB5ision of hell
I laughed in the F5mirror for the Gis5first time in a year.

C5 B5 F5 G#5 }*2 (with Rhythm Figure 1)

A C5hundred othB5er words blind me wF5ith your Gis5purity
Like an C5old painted dolB5l in the throes of dance
I F5think about tGis5omorrow
Please let me C5sleep
As I slip B5down the window
F5Freshly sqasGis5hed fly
You mean C5nothingB5, you mean F5nothing.  Gis5   

C5 Fis5 C5 F#5 }*2 (with Rhythm Figure 3)
C5 B5 F5 G#5 }*4 (Rhythm Figure 1 twice, then 6, then 1 again)
I can C5lose myself in B5Chinese art and AF5merican girls   Gis5   
All the C5time
Lose me in the B5bdark
Please do it F5right  Gis5   
Running into the C5night
I will lose myB5self tomorrow
F5Crimson pain, my Gis5heart explodes
My C5memory in a B5fire
And someone will F5listen
At Gis5least for a short while.

C5Too many secrets, B5too many lies
F5Writhing witGis5h hatred
C5Too many secrets, B5please make it good F5toniGis5ght
But the C5same image haunts me
In B5sequence, in despair oF5f time
I will Gis5never be clean agC5ain
Touched her B5eyes, pressed my F5stained face
I will Gis5never be clean agC5ain (with Rhythm Figure 1)
Touch her B5eyes, press my F5stained face
I will Gis5never be clean agC5ain B5     F5

I will Gis5never be clean again.
