[G] [E] [F] [B] [E]
[Em] [F#m] [Em]
I don't like the monsters that you kill.
Don't be baby Mary, cause I am not a kid.
Don't you go and push me like a hammer, dear boy.
It's time to get to the real stuff.
I am blue as you pull off your skin.
Green flesh everywhere you're hiding.
That's why we bother to know each other so well.
That's why I bother to live in hell with you.
[G] Stop your [Em] decoration.
[A] This is love.
[B] And it's a rush.
[C#m] This whole [B] life is things in my head.
[A] This is love.
[G#m] That's killing [Em] me when you are there.
Somebody else who's hurt me so bad.
Somebody else who I've never seen.
Look somebody else beyond down the road.
Look somebody else who goes on with you.
Stop your decoration.
[A] This is love.
[B] And it's a rush.
[C#m] This whole [B] life is [A] things in my [B] head.
That's killing [Em] me when you are there.
Stop your decoration.
[G] [Em] [G] [D]
[Em]
You pokey noises, flipping numbers on the wall.
The bubble pops up diamonds, it's sparkle when you go.
A bubble pops up beanie neck and I'll hurt you at all.
A bubble pops up skulls and we'll slip to ball for you.
Stop your decoration.
[A] This is love.
[B] It's dangerous.
[C#m] This whole life [B] is things in my [A] head.
This is love.
[B] It's killing me [Em] when you are there.
Stop your decoration.
Stop your decoration.
Stop your decoration.
Stop your decoration.
Can't see you're not killing to love me.
Not agree.
[Em] Stop your decoration.
