Guitar ONE (power chords) :  
 
Intro : C5 Bb5 F5 G#5 C5 Bb5 F5 G#5 C5 Bb5 F5 G#5  
 
C5 Bb5  
Sharp and open, leave me alone  
 F5 G#5  
And sleeping less every night  
 C5 Bb5  
As the days become heavier and weighted  
 F5 G#5  
Waiting in the cold light  
 C5 Bb5 F5  
A noise, a scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten  
 G#5  
With spiders inside them  
 C5 Bb5  
And dust on the lips of a vision of hell  
 F5 G#5  
I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year.  
 
C5 Bb5 F5 G#5 }*2 (with Rhythm Figure 1)  
 
 C5 Bb5 F5 G#5  
A hundred other words blind me with your purity  
 C5 Bb5  
Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance  
 F5 G#5  
I think about tomorrow  
 C5  
Please let me sleep  
 Bb5  
As I slip down the window  
F5 G#5  
Freshly sqashed fly  
 C5 Bb5 F5 G#5  
You mean nothing, you mean nothing.  
 
C5 F#5 C5 F#5 }*2 (with Rhythm Figure 3)  
C5 Bb5 F5 G#5 }*4 (Rhythm Figure 1 twice, then 6, then 1 again)  
 C5 Bb5 F5 G#5  
I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls  
 C5  
All the time  
 B5b  
Lose me in the dark  
 F5 G#5  
Please do it right  
 C5  
Running into the night  
 Bb5  
I will lose myself tomorrow  
F5 G#5  
Crimson pain, my heart explodes  
 C5 Bb5  
My memory in a fire  
 F5  
And someone will listen  
 G#5  
At least for a short while.  
 
C5 F#5 C5 F#5 }*2 (with Rhythm Figure 3)  
Eb5 F#5 Eb5 F#5 }*2 (with Rhythm Figure 4)  
F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 (with Rhythm Figure 5 - with every F5)  
 
 F5  
(I can never say no)  
 F5 F5  
I can never say no to anyone but you.  
 
C5 Bb5 F5 G#5 }*4 (with Rhythm Figure 2 twice, then 6, then 2 again)  
 
C5 Bb5  
Too many secrets, too many lies  
F5 G#5  
Writhing with hatred  
C5 Bb5 F5 G#5  
Too many secrets, please make it good tonight  
 C5  
But the same image haunts me  
 Bb5 F5  
In sequence, in despair of time  
 G#5 C5  
I will never be clean again  
 Bb5 F5  
Touched her eyes, pressed my stained face  
 G#5 C5  
I will never be clean again (with Rhythm Figure 1)  
 Bb5 F5  
Touch her eyes, press my stained face  
 G#5 C5 Bb5 F5  
I will never be clean again  
 G#5 C5 Bb5 F5  
I will never be clean again  
 G#5 C5 Bb5 F5  
I will never be clean again  
 G#5  
I will never be clean again.
