verse 1 

Am 
Something bout this mistress 
oh she stares right through your skin 
F 
Something bout this spoilt guacamole 
isn't she 

Dm 
One for the greatest, one for the greed 
One for the many men who deceive 
F 
one for the geniuses and thieves 
I can't deny, I can't deny 

Am 
That I fortified my lucid mind 
in search of what is real 
F 
Your beauty needs no comprehension 
far surpassed ideal 
F                       G 
(No) held me once, I caved in so do it twice 
Am 
(No) heard it all, caved in a thousand times 

Instrumental 

Am   Dm    F 

verse 2 

Am                      G 
Hold me back, simmer me down 
Dm                      F 
I'm better than before 
Am                      G 
It's all set, we go running back 
Dm                      F 
the mundane don't hear our call 
                        Am 
You're hell of a sadist 
                G 
waiting to feed. 
                Dm                      F 
Tangled me right up to my knees 
                Am                      G 
"Minority", it rings through my ears 
        Dm              F 
I can't deny, I can't deny 


Am 
That I fortified my lucid mind 
in search of what is real 
F 
Your beauty needs no comprehension 
far surpassed ideal 
F 
(No) held me once, I caved in don't do it twice 
Em 
(No) heard it all caved in a thousand times

Bridge 

                Am                              F 
Must all bestowed upon you be deserved 
                                                Dm 
I've been at my worst, and so I come to you 
and oh I'll find you 
                F 
for I've been meaning to 
and then I, cave in a thousand times 


Instrumental 

Am   Dm    F
