Biography:
IAMX is the solo musical project of Chris Corner (of Sneaker Pimps). Corner has repeatedly said that IAMX is very different to his actual, real-life personality and is a kind of quasi “act”. Whether an act or not, IAMX’s music is primarily concerned with subjects such as outlandish sex, death, narcotic intoxication, bisexuality, obsession, alienation and vague allusions to politics.
With the European marketplace going crazy for his blend of dramatic synth-rock

VERSE 1
G
I grew up blind
just like everyone's child
in the warmth of milk and deceit
smothered by love and the chemical dust
there was never enough to believe
BRIDGE:
Em
They chewed me up
D9
they spat me out
G
of their system and onto their street
G F
and the rest of my life was spent to forget
D9 C G
all the greatness that could never be
CHORUS:
Em
Oh beautiful town
C G
I remember you blacker than the night
Em
the whores and the sick mouths
C G
the bad taste and the neon lights
Em
Oh beautiful town,
C G
where are you now with your binge insecurities?
Em C
I shot you down beautiful town
F
because you tear your children
G
into pieces
VERSE 2
G
Absence twisted with fondness
is the horror I couldn't forget
programmed into great art
of family, lies and debts
BRIDGE 2:
Em D9
too much expectation
G
followed by hope and then hate in the mess
G F
and the rest of my life was a glorious test
D9 C G
of my will and my selfish neglect
CHORUS:
Em
Oh beautiful town
C G
I remember you blacker than the night
Em
the whores and the sick mouths
C G
the bad taste and the neon lights
Em
Oh beautiful town,
C G
where are you now with your binge insecurities?
Em C
I shot you down beautiful town
F
because you tear your children
G
into pieces
VERSE 3:
G
On the floor boards under insolent feet
I mapped the hopscotch to my parents retreat
with a lavender bag in my hand
and words of desperation on my tongue
BRIDGE 3:
Em D9 G
goodnight father, goodnight mother
F D9 C G
Are you still awake?
G
I grew up blind
just like everyone's child
in the warmth of milk and deceit
smothered by love and the chemical dust
there was never enough to believe
