Am C X4

[Verse 1]
Am                         C
He's lifelike when the light strikes right
Am                         C
Though no less charmless otherwise
Am                         C
Surprised with where my interest lies
Am                         C
I tried to bite my tongue this time

[Chorus]
Dm                                    E          Am
But tonight, Christ, can't you see my hands were tied?
E              Am
My hands were tied
Dm
And on my mother's life
C              Am
Suppose that I might
C             Am
Throw this fight, God
E
Knows I surely tried

[Verse 2]
Am                         C
Come on, let's get this over with
Am                         C
I dreamt of this in triplicate
Am                         C
But trust must have its privileges
Am                         C
That just don't enter into this

[Chorus]
Dm                         E      Am
Jesus Christ, look at the size of it
E           Am
The size of it
Dm
Your lips clenched like a fist
C             Am
What promises you
C             Am
wet them with

[Bridge]
E                    F               Am                      Dm
Brace yourself and this won't hurt a bit
E                    F               Am                      Dm
And who could help but long for more than this
E                    F               Am                      Dm
I crossed myself before I crossed your lips
E                    F               Am                      Dm
And cling like hell to something just like this

[Outro]
Oh oh woooah ooh
