[F#]
[G#m] [D#m]
[F#] Even fighting in love with you, all is the same, what's it to you?
[G#] Observes the blood, the blood [F#] tattoo of the centipede prints on you from me.
Other evidence has shown that you and I are still [G#m] among the beasts,
skirt around the stage and roam, don't talk about it.
[F#] My [F#m] man will watch and [D] come to offer, mock and smile, [C#] says it all.
He records the [D] rise and fall of every soldier's [F#m] passing,
but the only soldier now is me, [D] I'm fighting things I [F#m] cannot see.
[C#m] I think it's called my [A] destiny, I am [E] changing, my land not [A] on the wall.
[E] [B] [A]
[F#] Well I walked to your house in the afternoon, heard a butcher shop with a sawdust [G#] broom.
Don't give away the issue, [F#] it's what you might have told me.
And I tried to hold hard to resist, and you held me in your hand from sleep in the night.
A beautiful [B] kiss and a quiet chivine.
[F#] My man will [E] watch and [D] come to offer, mock and smile, [C#] says it all.
He records the [D] rise and fall of every soldier's [B] passing, but the [E] only soldier [D] now is me,
I'm fighting things I [F#m] cannot see.
[E] I think it's called [A] my destiny, I am [E] changing, my land not on [F#m] the wall.

[E] [A]
[F#] And even if I am in love with you, all is the same, what can she [C#] do?
Observe the blood, and this [F#] tattoo of a single prince on me from you.
Other evidence has shown that you and I are still [G#] alone.
You scuttle out of [D#m] danger zone and don't [B] talk about it [F#] later.
You tried so hard to resist, and you held me in your hand from sleep,
[G#m] and reminded me of the night we kissed [B] and a quiet chivine.
My man [F#m] will watch and come to offer, [D] mock and smile, [F#m] says it all.
He [C#m] records the [D] rise and fall of every [F#] man who's been here, but the only one [E] here now [D] is me.
I'm fighting things I [C#m] cannot see.
I think it's called my [A] destiny, I am changing, [E] changing, changing, [A] changing, [E] changing.
My land not [D] on the wall, my mock and smile, [F#m] says it all.
[C#m] He records the [D] rise and fall of every [F#m] soldier's passing, but the only soldier now is [D] me.
I'm fighting things [F#m] I cannot see.
[C#m] I think it's called [A] my destiny, that I am [E] changing.
My land not on [D] the wall.
