[D] [Em] [D]
[Em] [D]
[Em] [D]
[C] [D]
[C] I've forgotten [Am] what it's like [D] if I [C] ever knew [D] at all
[Em] I've slept [D] on broken glass and [Em] drooped against [D] the wall
[Am] I [G] hung the phone [A] up many times
[Bm] Like angels [D] when [G] they rang
[D] Their [C] melodies were [D] sickly sweet
Like [C] overripe [D] meringue
I
[A] was born with something missing
But [Bm] I know your lip [D] was made for kissing
Ooh, [G] baby, when that human music plays
I don't know [E] why
[D] [G] [D]
[C] [Am] [D]
The wind [Em] explodes and [Am] rips itself [D] to [C] pieces [D] everywhere
It [Em] itches [C] in [Am] the chimney and [D] [G] it [C] suffocates [D] the [Am] air
[G] The angels try [A] to anchor but [Bm] they never [F#m] get [G] the chance
[D] Their [Em] limbs are [C] numb [D] and [Am] twisted so [D] they're going [C] to have [D] to dance
[A] What scares you most will set you free
[Bm] That's what the [D] angels said to me
He said, ooh, [G] baby, when that human music plays
You don't [E] know why
I
[D]
[Em] [Am]
[D] [C] had a girl [D] the shape of you
I loved her with my breath
But I [Em] won't [D] admit that romance likes [Em] to [C] end [D] in death
[G] And darkness is [A] the shore of light
[Bm] The truth is [G] framed with lies
[D] And a girl [C] can smile [D] sweetly
Though her mouth [C] is stuffed [D] with lies
[A] When you're thin and shorty
[Bm] Just remember [D] that you're in a body
Ooh, [G] baby, when that human music plays
[D] I [G] don't [E] know why
[D]
