Em 
I heard the news today; 
C                      G 
That youâ??re not mine to keep. 
Em 
Donâ??t struggle too much now 
C                      G 
While I kill you in your sleep. 

Em                     C         G 
What is lust if itâ??s not being by yourself? 
Em                     C         G 
I wonâ??t be gentle to the body on the shelf 

G 

         Am 
Itâ??s only water 
         G 
Itâ??s only fire 
         G 
Itâ??s only love 

         Am 
Itâ??s only slaughter 
          G 
Weâ??re only liars 
           G 
Itâ??s only blood 

             Am 
Theyâ??re only thoughts that Iâ??m having; 
G 
Thoughts safe within my head. 
           Am 
Youâ??re only crying 
           G 
Youâ??re only dying 
           G 
Youâ??re only late.

Em 
I heard the news today, 
C                G 
That you werenâ??t mine to save 
Em 
I hope that youâ??re comfortable 
C                G 
In the quiet lasting grave 

Em                     C         G
