[Am] If you gave [C] me fresh carnations, [G] I would only [Bb] crush you tender
[Dm] [Am] petals
You [C] have no escape, [G] at the same [Bb] time you're in a wet meadow
[Gm] [Gb] I've [Bb] trampled down [E] all life in [Cm] my wake, I eat [D] it up and take [Bm] the day
I've just [E] had enough lies [Am] to make, if [D] someone's lost help in [Am] my game
If you gave me [C] a drink from my pocket, [G] you'd be plugging [Bb] in the wrong socket
[Am] With me [C] there's no room for the future, [G] with me [Bb] there's no room for the future
[Gm] I've [Bb] tossed seas [E] and I've hollered [Cm] around, every street [D] ring was a [Bm] riotous sound
Touch [E] my heart [A] and feel the [Am] winter, hold [D] my hand and we'll be doomed [Cm] forever

With me I [C] have no escape, [G] at the same time [Gm] you're in a wet meadow
So if [Bb] you're wondering right [E] now who [Cm] I am, look [D] no further [Bm] than the mirror
Because [E] I am the greed [Am] and fear, and every [D] hassle weighs [Cm] in you
