EC#m
If lust and longing were all we knew
F#mB
And love was kissing on the roof in view
EC#m
Of the office workers and their camera phones
F#mB
My heart would pump to let you know
EC#m
That you could take this song, if it's any good at all
F#mB
Hide it somewhere when your new love calls
EC#m
And if he asks if he hears music playing
F#mB
Tell him it's the rattling of old bolts and chains
E
That held your heart in
C#m
But now you're starting
F#mB
To forget you ever knew me
And you won't let me in
EC#m
If lust and longing; were all we knew
EC#m
And you were someone special and I was too
EAbm
Oh, would you take this song, put it on your wall
A
Hide it somewhere when your lover calls
EAbm
If he asked if that's music playing,
AE
Tell him that's the rattling of old bolts and chains
EC#m
How it went old so quickly but that was long ago
EC#m
When you could fall in love with every one you know
EAbm
And consume the songs like DNA
A
Cut me open, to hear what they'd say
EAbm
Pierce my skin with your arrow and bow
AE
Saint Sebastian could tell you what he knows 'bout that
E
And how it feels
C#m
Oh
AB
Oh, let me in
E
She says, 'break the rules now
C#m
Talk like you got nothing to lose
AB
Don't dance with nobody else', and
E
He's drunk at the wheel again
C#mAB
rumoured to be somewhere with a monster smile that's way too tight
Let me tell you what I know
EA
She's got to leave this alone
E
To find a way out of here
B
She can still make it home
ECEC#mEC#m
Now we both know longing, how it gets under your skin
EC#m
But then I saw you making eyes into him
EAbm
When you could take me over, take it all
A
Close that distance, smash that door
EAbm
Beat me up or take my car
AE
One last time before you crawl
F#m
But when your lover calls
E
Under the bed when his bullet falls
E
If he asks if he hears music playing
A
Tell them it's the rattling of old bolts and chains
In the night when you watch it fall
F#mE
All you gotta do now
E
Is let me in
C#m
Let me in
EC#m
Let. Me. In
E
She's fixing studs onto her ballet shoes
C#m
walks like she's got nothing to lose
AB
Still she just can't look at no-one else
E
While in the basement there is blood on his knees
C#m
Trembling to see what she'll reveal
AB
When everybody has gone home
Let me tell you what I know
EA
We could just leave this alone, Oh
EB
To find our way out of here
We could just make it
E
Her arrows are flying they don't hit their target and
C#m
She's in the basement crying
AB
She can't give this much of a f**k again
E
So she'll go to another with Clergerie heels on
C#m
Dance with him to the beat of this song
AB
Teach him that the beast must earn his horns
E
And me? I'm just another number, son of generation kill
C#mA
These days, too much time to kill
E
And if I see her, I'll tell her you say hi
