[F#m] The blood is thick, thicker than my thoughts are quick, quicker than my thoughts turn sick, sick, sicker [Bm] than my temperature rising
[F#m] Sicker than the whites of their eyes despising [C#] me and all my lovers and the [Bm] kindest guys and I'll [F#m] never know why
Ooh, the air is tears, clearer than the taste of tears, clearer than the smell I feel
And I'm [Bm] faithful for a long cold year with you, don't you [F#m] know what you do?
You give me an R, then I give [C#] you the goo that [Bm] oozes, [F#m] separate the scars from the bruises
I turn my [F#] thoughts off and on and off and on and off and on and [E] off and [F#] on and off and on and off and on and off and on
[A] [F#]
[A] [F#] [A] [F#]
[A] [D] [Em] [F#]
And [F#m] I'm proud of that, it offers me a taste of death, equally a taste of life
And I [Bm] freeze to feel it, and I pray to my God and [F#m] I pray to Jesus, oh yes
[C#] I pray and I plead it, that [Bm] I'll never go back, but [F#m] I'm always gonna find him
Cause the touch is sweet, it's sweet and then he touches me, sweet, so when my touch repeats, repeats, [Bm] please believe
My heart spells his curse every time that [F#m] you leave, don't you know what you do?
[C#] You give me an R, [Bm] then I give you the goo that oozes, [F#m]
separate the scars [F#] from the bruises
I turn my thoughts off and on and off [G#m] and on and off and [F#] on and off and on and off and on and off and on and
[B] [F#] off
[B] [F#]
[A] [F#] [Em] [A]
[Em] [F#] It's gonna teach me [A] how to [F#] live, it's gonna teach me [A] how to [F#] live, it's gonna teach me [A] how to [F#] live, it's gonna teach me [A] how to [D] live
