E 022100 Emaj7 021100 Amaj7 002120
Asus2 002200 B 004440

E Emaj7 Amaj7 Asus2
I ve broken your glass, called someone a dirty name
E Asus2 B
Made a nuisance of myself in front of friends
E Emaj7 Amaj7 Asus2
I ve dug my own grave, please don t let me lie in it
E A B E
Instead let s bury everything that caused us pain

CHORUS
E Emaj7 A Asus2
Speak to me now, speak to me darling
E Emaj7 A Asus2
You re not a princess I m not Prince Charming
E Emaj7 A Asus2
Speak with your tongue, use body language
E Asus2 B E
and pull your skin like wrapping paper round my heart

Sometimes I feel the kick has gone, it gets mundane
So I team up with the devil and make hell
But I ll hang on in as long as I know I ve got you
As long as I know love s a cure that makes me well

(CHORUS, Instrumental verse)

We move around, drag ourselves from town to town
Wrap up lots of gifts and toys and China tea
But they don t feel nothin , they re just inanimate
They just go in suitcases and fly away

CHORUS (last line x3), Repeat Intro
