Cm                            D#           Cm
Despair and Deception, Love's ugly little twins
A#                                     Cm
Came a-knocking on my door, I let them in
                                   D#                Cm
Darling, you're the punishment for all of my former sins

Chorus:
           A#
I let love in
           Cm
I let love in

The door, it opened just a crack, but Love was shrewd and bold
My life flashed before my eyes, it was a horror to behold
A life-sentence sweeping confetti from the floor of a concrete hole

Chorus - x2

Well, I've been bound and gagged and I've been terrorized
And I've been castrated, and I've been lobotomized
But never has my tormentor come in such a cunning disguise

Chorus - x2

Fm
O Lord, tell me what I done
Please don't leave me here alone
Where are my friends?
               Cm
My friends are gone
Fm
O Lord, tell me what I done
Please don't leave me here alone
Where are my friends?
               Cm
My friends are gone

Chorus

So if you're sitting all alone and hear a-knocking at your door
And the air is full of promises, well buddy, you've been warned
Far worse to be Love's lover than the lover that Love has scorned

Chorus:
I let love in, I let love in
Yeah, I let love in, I let him in
I let love in, yeah, I let love in
I let him in, I let love in
