Intro: Gm--Eb-F- x2


Verse 1:
                       Gm
I feel it welling up inside
And Robert Smith lied
Eb        F
  Boys do cry
        Gm
And with  blood tears in my eyes
       Eb              F
I'm an Anne Rice novel come to life
Gm                        Eb   F
  I can't hide the monster  anymore
       Gm                   Eb     F
One can  only feel desolate for so long
Gm
  Until one starts to change
Into something the mirror 
doesn't recognize
Eb
  I metamorphosize
             F
The darkness has been 
biding its time
Gm
  To claim its latest victim
Fresh meat for carnal desires
Eb
  To become what I became
F
  I viewed the sun for the last time


Chorus 1:
Eb        F            Gm
Will you still hold me when 
you see what I have done?
Eb        F                Gm
Will you still kiss me the same 
                           Eb
when you taste my victim's blood?
       F
So crimson and red
Dm          Eb
  I feel it flowing from your lips
       F
So crimson and red

Verse 3:
                            Gm
My heart is dead and so are you
And it pulses through
The desire to change
   Eb
To deconstruct all 
F
  giving my past failings
Gm
  But where to begin
Because when you live in sin
                     Eb
It's hard to look at saints
                       F
Without them reflecting their
                        Gm
jet black auras back on you
And I have is hope
My inner burn's not fading
Eb
  I'll wipe the blood 
        F
from my cheek
And get on with my day


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Bridge:
Eb
  And I have is hope
Gm
  And all I need is time
G#
  To bury in pine under 
            Gm
six feet of time
           G#
The lies I told me 
        Eb
about myself
Claw my way out
          Gm
Pick the splinters from 
under my fingernails
G#
  I won't lose hope
Gm             G#
  I won't give in


Verse 4:
Fm     Cm       G#
  Just live and breathe
        Eb
And try not to die again
Fm     Cm       G#
  Just live and breathe
        Eb
And try not to die again 
Fm     Cm       G#
  Just live and breathe
        Eb          Fm  Eb/G G#
And try not to die again 
And try not to die again


Chorus 2: Modulate from Eb to E
E         F#           G#m
Will you still hold me when 
you see what I have done?
E         F#               G#m
Will you still kiss me the same 
                           E
when you taste my victim's blood?
       F#
So crimson and red
Ebm          E
   I feel it flowing 
from your lips
       F#
So crimson and red
My heart is dead 
and so are you
(Repeat)
