G#m
Handcuffed in the present tense
C#
Variations on your violence
G#m
Mind games and pretty girls
C#
A cracked song in the universe

I think it's time that I showed you what
I'm made of
I'm afraid there is so much to be afraid of
I kill the fire so I don't get burned
Kill the fire and you won't get burned

G#m               B
Deadwood, if you care to listen
C#                         B               G#m
It's the same but there's something missing
    B       C#  B
It wears me out
G#m                    B
Stripped bare I'm the same old savage
C#                     B           G#m
How in His name did we ever manage?
      B       C#
It's not enough

E       F#      G#m
Look me in the eye
E    F#       G#m
I'm about to dive
E       F#         G#m     A      E
Can you live your life without me?

Chorus:
        G#m          E C# E
I don't need you anymore
        G#m          E C# E
I can't use you anymore
G#m          E            C#        E
Killing the fire and you kill my desire
G#m      B          G#m
I don't need you anymore

Loud and clear but you still don't get it
I call you up and then I'll regret it
It gets me down
You want the truth but you look right through it
Deadwood but you hold on to it
It's such a shame

Look me in the eye
I'm about to dive
Can you live your life without me?

Chorus

First comes love
Then comes marriage
Then comes baby in a golden carriage
First comes love
Then comes marriage
Then comes baby in a golden carriage

Chorus:
I don't need you anymore
I can't use you anymore
Killing the fire and you kill my desire
Killing the fire and you kill my desire
Killing the fire and you kill my desire
Killing the fire and you kill my desire

Symptomatic of what we've become
I used to think you were the only one
Symptomatic of what we've become
I used to think you were the only one

First comes love
Then comes marriage
Then comes baby in a golden carriage
Then comes loneliness
First comes love
Then comes marriage
Then comes baby in a golden carriage
Then comes loneliness
