Em7 Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
My love, my love, you're the sting of the scorpion

Consider, now, the angels, a little lower than you
Em7 Cadd9 Em7 Cadd9
And they twist and they turn, and they hold their breath 'til it's blue
Em7 Cadd9 G F#/D
And they can't turn away like I can't, when you're lookin' like you do
Pre-chorus:
G
Well looky Black Betty, what they tying to you

And they want you to doubt every trust that you've known
Cadd9 Em7
And they wanna find the holes in the armor exposed

And they come on whispering,
Bm
If you just do this for me...
Cadd9 D
And turn and show their teeth just before they're sinking in
Em7 D Cadd9
And better than described and deeper the descent
G F#/D

I never thought we'd have to learn to doubt our friends

I hope the money fills the holes in the place I used to stand
