C                Dm
Would you butcher my love 
   C               Dm
To understand it? 
Am               Dm
To know where it lies, 
      C                 Dm
Cut a hole in my heart. 
       C                  Dm

Am              Dm
I'm yours to dissect.

Burn a white heat in your blood?

Formaldehyde.

My soul has on loan 
Am           Dm
Begs to be near you. 
        C                  Dm
Are you listening carefully?

I hope it doesn't matter, 
                              F
I hope we swim up out of this flood.

My mind's gonna wonder,
