[VERSE]

Em                                                         Bm
I am your poison candygram, the love that's meant to fade away
                       Am                              Em
Vade retro, alter ego, move aside, I'm choking on this life
                                                        Bm
I think I tolerate your hate, as long as you're afraid
                    Am                           C
All I wanted was to be with you and suffer every day


[PD-C HORUS]

                        Am
Under the moon I hold a wake for a promise torn
                           B         C
Mortally wounded, feelings sheltered me
                     Am
Once again my shadow will enter your life
                         B          Em
Time to walk with me the last mile


[VERSE]

                                                     Bm
I read a book about a man, a love, a woman, how they died
                       Am                            Em
How I was waved aside, listen how the headless doves cry
                                                  Bm
I truly see a madman in the mirror when I'm weak
                         Am                   C
I spent a year in love before I realized it's me


[PD-C HORUS]

                             Am
Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
                         B           C
Make me believe it, oh I know you're lying
                            Am
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why
                     B
Could I let you wait out the night


[CHORUS]

Em            C              Em     D            Em
Mother always said, “My son, do the noble thing"
            C                        Am                  G    D/F# 
You have to finish what you started, no matter what, now sit, watch
     Em
 and learn
              C              Em            D           Em
"It's not how long you live, but what your morals say"
                 C                   Am                G     D/F#
Cannot keep your part of the deal so don't say a word, don't say a word


[VERSE]

                                                        Bm
It won't be long now, love, like mist I slowly fill the room
                               Am                              Em
I place a black candle on your chest, the path of night is manifest
                                              Bm
I never wanted us to end up in this catatonic phase
                       Am               C
It was not me who ran away, you made me stray


[PD-C HORUS]

                             Am
Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
                         B        C
Make me believe it, oh I know you lie
                            Am
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why
                                B
Settling the score, we pass the twilight

[KEY CHANGE 1]

F#m        D                    F#m        E                 F#m
Strawberry blonde, your stranglehold on my heart is bound to end
           D                  Bm             A      E         F#m
I suppose, life sometimes, it doesn't go the way it was meant
           D              F#m                   E             F#m
Though you never were a believer, I assure you: I won't die before you
F#m
You read the book now, the part “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust”


[BRIDGE]

Bm           G              Em               G#  G
Short is the flight of this little starling
Bm            G                Em
Love sounds familiar, but the emotion escapes me
Bm     G         Em                           G#  G
I will carpe the diem while it's still here
Bm      G               Em      D     D/C#
And see how the fear of death becomes her


F#m       F#dim
We had it all so sweet
F#m          F#dim
Made for me, you, indeed
F#m         F#dim
Big secret, small the lie
      A               C#m
Don't cry for me, oh, argentite

F#m         F#dim
No word you say tonight
F#m           F#dim
Can make this be alright
F#m           F#dim
I'll help you follow through
A             C#m                   F#m
Remember this?  Pacta sunt servanda
    F#dim
The wounds are too deep
F#m       F#dim
I need to keep the scars
F#m            F#dim
To prove there was a time when
A                 C#m
I loved something more than life
F#m        F#dim
Unlike the last time here
  F#m                      F#dim
I now have the means and a will sincere
F#m            F#dim
Your knight is nowhere near
  A                  C#m                F#m
Unfortunate for you, this makes me your God

You never meant a word, I know you lied
                                Am
When there is life, there is despair, indulge me now
                           B
