Take [Fm] a look [Cm] at me, [Db] look at my [Ab] hands
[Bbm] There's so much here that [Eb] I don't understand
[Fm] Your face saving [C] promises, [Db] where's my [Ab] light, praise?
I don't need them
[Eb]
Cause I've [Fm] been treated so wrong
[Db] I've been treated so wrong
[Ab] As if I'm becoming [Eb]
untouchable
Welcome [F]
[Cm] to this, [Db] it's rising [Ab] in the dark

sweeten [Ab] the blow
But I don't need them
No, [Eb] I don't need them

I'm [Fm] the slow dying flower, [Db] frost killing now
[Ab] The sweet turning sour and [Eb] untouchable
Do you [Fm] remember [Cm] the way that [Db] you touched me [Ab] before?
All [Bbm] the trembling [Eb] sweetness I loved and adored

Better [Fm] shut your mouth and hold your breath
