[INTRO]

Em  Bm  Am
Em  Bm  Am


[VERSE]

Em                                                
I am your poison candygram, the love that's meant 
        Bm
to fade away
                      Am                         
Vade retro, alter ego, move aside, I'm choking on 
    Em
this life

I think I tolerate your hate, as long as you're 
       Bm
afraid
                   Am                           
All I wanted was to be with you and suffer every 
C
day


[PRE-CHORUS]
                        Am
Under the moon I hold a wake for a promise torn
                           B         C
Mortally wounded, feelings sheltered me
                     Am
Once again my shadow will enter your life
                         B          Em
Time to walk with me the last mile


[VERSE]


I read a book about a man, a love, a woman, how 
    Bm
they died
                      Am                      
How I was waved aside, listen how the headless 
     Em
doves cry

I truly see a madman in the mirror when I'm weak
Bm
                         Am                   C
I spent a year in love before I realized it's me


[PRE-CHORUS]

                            Am
Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, 
whore
                         B           C
Make me believe it, oh I know you're lying
                            Am
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why
                     B
Could I let you wait out the night


[CHORUS]

Em            C              Em     D            Em
Mother always said, “My son, do the noble thing"
           C                        Am        
You have to finish what you started, no matter 
         G    D/F#      Em
what, now sit, watch and learn
             C              Em            D      
"It's not how long you live, but what your morals 
    Em
say"
                C                   Am          
Cannot keep your part of the deal so don't say a 
     G     D/F#
word, don't say a word


[VERSE]


It won't be long now, love, like mist I slowly fill
    Bm
the room
                              Am                 
I place a black candle on your chest, the path of 
            Em
night is manifest
                                              Bm
I never wanted us to end up in this catatonic phase
                       Am               C
It was not me who ran away, you made me stray


[PRE-CHORUS]

                            Am
Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, 
whore
                         B        C
Make me believe it, oh I know you lie
                            Am
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why
                                B
Settling the score, we pass the twilight


[CHORUS]

Em            C              Em     D            Em
Mother always said, “My son, do the noble thing"
           C                        Am        
You have to finish what you started, no matter 
         G    D/F#      Em
what, now sit, watch and learn
             C              Em            D      
"It's not how long you live, but what your morals 
    Em
say"
                C                   Am          
Cannot keep your part of the deal so don't say a 
     G     D/F#
word, don't say a word


[KEY CHANGE 1]

F#m        D                    F#m        E       
Strawberry blonde, your stranglehold on my heart is
         F#m
bound to end
          D                  Bm             A     
I suppose, life sometimes, it doesn't go the way it
E         F#m
was meant
          D              F#m                   E 
Though you never were a believer, I assure you: I 
           F#m
won't die before you
F#m
You read the book now, the part “Ashes to ashes, 
dust to dust”


[BRIDGE]

Bm           G              Em               G#  G
Short is the flight of this little starling
Bm            G                Em
Love sounds familiar, but the emotion escapes me
Bm     G         Em                           G#  G
I will carpe the diem while it's still here
Bm      G               Em      D     D/C#
And see how the fear of death becomes her


F#m       F#dim
We had it all so sweet 
F#m          F#dim
Made for me, you, indeed
F#m         F#dim
Big secret, small the lie
      A               C#m
Don't cry for me, oh, argentite
F#m         F#dim
No word you say tonight 
F#m           F#dim
Can make this be alright
F#m           F#dim
I'll help you follow through
A             C#m                   F#m
Remember this?  Pacta sunt servanda
    F#dim
The wounds are too deep
F#m       F#dim
I need to keep the scars
F#m            F#dim
To prove there was a time when 
A                 C#m
I loved something more than life
F#m        F#dim
Unlike the last time here
  F#m                      F#dim
I now have the means and a will sincere
F#m            F#dim
Your knight is nowhere near
  A                  C#m                F#m
Unfortunate for you, this makes me your God

C                             Am
Closing your eyes, don't ever say you love me, 
whore
                          B        C
You never meant a word, I know you lied
                               Am
When there is life, there is despair, indulge me 
now
                          B                     
And stay alive this night, I promise you the end 
                       Em
before the first light arrives
