Am           G          Dm Fmaj7
I chose an eternity of this
Am           G           Dm              Fmaj7
Like falling angels the world disappeared
Am                 G          Dm              Fmaj7
Laughing into the fire, is it always like this?
Am                       G
Flesh and blood and the first kiss
Dm                   Fmaj7
The first colors the first kiss.

We writhed under a red light
Voodoo smile, Siamese twins
Girl at the window looks at me for an hour
Then everything falls apart
Broken inside me, it falls apart

Chorus:
C                  Dm             Am
The walls and the ceiling move in time
         C                    Dm
Push a blade into my hands, slowly up the stairs
    E
And into the room Is it always like this

Am            Fmaj7
Dancing in my pocket
Am           Fmaj7
Worms eat my skin
      Am                 G
She glows and grows with arms outstretched
     F
Her legs around me, in the morning I cried.

Leave me to die, you won't remember my voice
I walked away and grew old
You never talk, we never smile
I scream "you're nothing
I don't need you any more, you're nothing"

Chorus:
C         Dm            Am
Sing out loud we all die
C                  Dm
Laughing into the fire
      E                A#
Is it always like this?
      E                A#
Is it always like this?
      E
Is it always like this?
