          D                                          F6

                E                              B

          they are predators moving in their endless days
          D                              F6
          days of striving nights of novacaine
          E                                            B
          never going to bring them freedom from their pain

VERSE 3:  wild shadows acid verbs
          E                        B
          eyelids opening dans mon coeur
          D                     F6
          tu me touche comme la pression

          E                   B
          des etoiles sur les tenebres

VERSE 4:  in the elevator and empty hall
          E                                       B
          how'm i ever going to hear you when you call
          D                              F6
          i'm always living and i always die
