[D#m]
[Em] I [E] am a time bomb [Em] and I'm a little [E] girl and at the bottom [C] of your heart [A] I'm fine
[B] Ticking [C] away the hours till I blow your world [Em] apart
[F]
[Em] I am a poison and I'm still [E] cursing through your bloodstream [C] like a ghost
[A] Bright wine,
[B] [C] calorie dance and through the day I've heard [Em] the most
I am [G] mine and I'll lay [D] in soil, burn down my flowers and [C] talk to you one
I've got [A] time
[B] to wait for [C] the footsteps of a memory that's stronger
[Em]
[F]
[Em] I [Am]
am a [G] tar pit and I swell [Am] [D] like a living [G] thing, I'm that [C] sludge that's a [Am] black lime
[B] [C] Swallowing FM, cold and timeless
[E] but shine
I am a trip [A] wire and I'm stretching [G] across the road to Barrowtown [C] tonight
The [Am] thinnest twine
[B] waiting [C] to be released right behind your [E] side
I [F#]
am a [G] ball of [E] iron and
[F#] I'm pulling [G] apart the crown of living [A] while I'm doing C so fine
[G#] I'm moving [Em] in inches now, [F#m] a crime, a cunning, a gleaming, a [C#] life I'm not
[Em]
Well I, I am a time bomb and I, [A] well I only live in that one moment [C] in which you die
And it's [A] not right, [B] it's not [C] what I wanted then
[B] But you know [G] and I know there's no going [Em] back
I'm [G] a lost soul [Em] and I, I stand out of [Bm] sinking lights, a brand new [C] one to see
I cry [E] for help, [B] yeah, a warning [G] to stay [C] away, a burning, a blinding, a bleaching, a [Em] death mask Well
