Look at my hands

There's so much here

Your face saving promises

Contempt loves the silence
C#                 Ab  
It thrives in the dark
      Bbm   
With fine winding tendrils
        Eb
That strangle the heart 

     Fm         Cm
They say that promises

Sweeten the blow

But I don't need them

No, I don't need them

As if I'm becoming untouchable 

       Fm
I'm a slow dying flower
 C#
Frost killing hour
     Ab 
The sweet turning sour
        Eb
And untouchable 


O, I need
       Fm
The darkness

The sweetness
       C#
The sadness

Love of my life

Do you remember the way
           C#         Ab 
That you touched me before
          Bbm        
All the trembling sweetness
    Eb
I loved and adored?

Your face saving promises

Hold your breath

Kiss me now you'll catch my death
Ab        Eb 
O, I mean it

When you see Em*, you can play Em open if you want, but I find that it sounds 
better with the bar chord.

Take a look at my body
Look at my hands
There's so much here that I don't understand
Your face-saving promises
Whispered like prayers
I don't need them
Because I've been treated so wrong
I've been treated so long
As if I'm becoming untouchable
Well, content loves the silence
It thrives in the dark
With fine winding tendrils
That strangle the heart
They say that promises sweeten the blow
But I don't need them, no
I don't need them
I've been treated so wrong
I've been treated so long
As if I'm becoming untouchable
I'm the slow dying flower
In the frost killing hour
Sweet turning sour anduntouchable
Oh, I need the darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
Oh, I need this
I need a lullaby
A kiss good night
Angel sweet love of my life
Oh, I need this
I'm the slow dying flower
In the frost killing hour
Sweet turning sour anduntouchable
Do you remember the way that you touched me before
All the trembling sweetness I loved and adored
Your face saying promised whispered like prayers
I don't need them
Oh, I need the darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
Oh, I need this
I need a lullaby
A kiss good night
Angel sweet love of my life
Oh, I need this
Well is it dark enough
Can you see me
Do you want me
Can you reach me
Oh, I'm leaving
You better shut your mouth
And hold your breath
And kiss me now
And catch your death
Oh, I need this
Oh, I need this
