F#m Amaj7 Bm
True love is a rose behind glass
riff2 F#
It's locked and kept closed
A /B C
Maybe just to me 'cause my heart's been attacked
GM7 F E riff1
Shattered by tough love, bad love
F#m Amaj7
so bought mine off the street
Bm riff2 F#
true love, man, it just can't be beat
A /B C Gm7 F E
I felt so complete, married to heavenly bodies above
Fmaj7 Am E11b9 E riff1
And each night I look up at a bright honeymoon
F#m Amaj7
'cause it sure seemed built to last
Bm riff2 F# A
and even after my honeymoon past I kept right with that, man,
/B C GM7 F E riff1
Like a ghost to the house it once haunted
F#m Amaj7
And day after day
Bm riff2 F#
I'd steal with my true love away
A /B C
To some hideout we left undisturbed
GM7 F E
we could do what we wanted
Fmaj7 Am E11b9 E riff1
But I started to feel like a liar saying "I love you"
Dm C Bb
She was madly in love, and mad mean there was no in-between
E riff1
It raised my alarm
Dm C Bb
I found I can't make a stand i'm her hired hand
E riff1
I have to do harm
F#m Amaj7 Bm riff2 F#
One day I got sick, she played me a nasty old trick
A /B
Said, "I need cigarettes"
C Gm7 F E riff1
Walked around the block caught a cab
F#m Amaj7
Stayed gone for too long
Bm riff2 F#
My love had gotten too strong
A /B C
Just to try to getting back on my own
GM7 F E riff
I had to go to rehab
Dm C Bb
All I need is a safe place to bleed
E riff1
Is this where it's at?
Dm C
Half of no chance, steps in a dance
Bb E
rest of my live spin in combat
riff1 A* Amaj7
Now I'm the king of the ward
Asus4 A6
'cause I'm good and I swallow my sword
A /B C Gm7 F E riff1
Puke it up for the doctor to write a new prescription
F#m Amaj7
tranquil as a dove
Bm riff2 F#
people that have lost their true love
A /B C Gm7 F E
that all seem to fit the same description
Fmaj7 Am
I feel cold, useless and old
E11b9 E riff1
Wish I was no one
A* Amaj7 A* Amaj7
