DIE SLUG!
[Bm]
[D]
[Bm]
[N] Too tragic [Ab] to stand with you,
too [G] static to try for you,
[N] the scars they swallow hard,
the part of the past that's hollow and dark,
too boring to kill you,
too sordid to die with you,
unstable as always,
come down, everything else is just dust and [Ab] snow!
It's [Eb]
SAPPHIRE!
[D] [Eb] I lost [Gb]
my heart,
[Eb] but it's SAPPHIRE!
[D]
I've [Eb] lost [Fm] my only [Eb] way,
SAPPHIRE!
[D] I [Eb] lost [Ab] my only way,
[G] SAPPHIRE!
[D]
Oh [N] god, I'm flying away!
I'd give it all away,
come take it all away,
you can't resist the fear,
somebody tell me how I got here,
I'd give it all to you,
come take it, it's all for [Eb] you,
the noise is so damn loud,
but [C] everything else [Ab] and I'm not the same, it's [Eb] SAPPHIRE!
[D]
[Eb] I've lost [Ab] my only way,
[Eb] SAPPHIRE!
[D] [Eb] I've lost [Ab] my only way,
[Eb] SAPPHIRE!
[D] [Eb] I've lost [Abm] my only way,
[Eb] see the [D] shine,
[N] oh god, I'm flying away!
[Ab]
[C]
[Ab] [N]
Everything's shit, everything,
but take it for a second,
that's not enough,
I'm hearing your back words,
don't make sense,
don't [C] feel very well,
[Ab] it's nothing simple,
you gotta figure it out,
but boy, it might seem difficult,
if there's a word, it's a problem,
the problem is easy,
try to [C] conclude that solution,
everybody else would have run,
controlling, distorting, I am undone,
run, let trouble get a nightmare fix you,
are you getting a fixer?
[Eb] Oh, SAPPHIRE!
[D]
[Eb] I've lost my [Gb] only [Ab] way,
SAPPHIRE!
[D] I've lost [Ab] my only way,
SAPPHIRE!
[D]
I've lost [Ab] my only way,
see the shine,
[D] oh [F] god, I'm [B] thrown [Ab] away!
SAPPHIRE!
[D] I've lost [N] my only [Ab] way,
SAPPHIRE!
[G]
I've [Eb] lost [Bb] my only [Ab] way,
SAPPHIRE!
[G] [Eb] I've lost [Bb] my only [Ab] way,
see the [G] shine,
[Eb] oh god, [N] I'm thrown [C] away!
oh god, I'm thrown away!
