[A]I have lived a [Bsus4]strange life my [E]chi-[D]ild

[A]And of all things [Bsus4]pure and all those [E]wi-[D]ild

[A]I have never [Bsus4]been more than a [E]fan[B]ta[A]sy

In [E]your [A]mind...[A]giving you happiness to [Bsus4]pass the time

And [E]still you lurk for [D]more,



[E]What could lie be[D]neath [E]this cold [D]shell

[E]You demand, but you'll [D]never [A/C#]under[D/F#]stand[E/G#]

[E]I will not give [D]you the chance

[E]To mispronounce me[D]

[E]I’ll hide in the [D]nest of [A/C#]misanthro[D/F#]py[E/G#]



[A]Keeping a view or a [Bsus4]leash if you will,

[C#m7]To hold you and bind you to [Bsus4]be my kill

[A]If you knew the truth, you could [Bsus4]not handle me, my [E]fri[D]end

[A]So I choose to [Bsus4]deny you all [E]over a[D]gain



[A]I carried your cross, but [Bsus4]just for a while

I [C#m7]gave you some hope, set you [Bsus4]free from your bile



[A]Taught you to trust, in my [Bsus4]own little way

I [C#m7]set your heart free from those [E/G#]slavery [Bsus4]days



[A]Who you loved was [Bsus4]not me at all

But [C#m7]you had no problems [Bsus4]taking that fall



You be[A]lieved in a picture and a [Bsus4]story of glass

[C#m7]To see was a choice, now it is [E/G#]yours [Bsus4]alas



[A]So maybe I cannot feel [Bsus4]your kind of love

[C#m7]Dancing and laughing from the [E/G#]heavens [Bsus4]above



But [A]fear not, sweet [Bsus4]Steven,

The [E]one who's heart I [D]hold...

I [A]wish I could [Bsus4]keep it

For mine is shit,

[E]Plated with [D]gold
