(verse 1) 


Em          G          D           Am  C 
   Zipping Cupid in a body bag well-worn 
              G              D 
Next to the mausoleum he was born in 
Em                 G             D               Am  C 
   Picking up the pieces of this gory glory of it all 
            G       D                  
From Eve to mourn          (Let D ring out into Chorus) 
From Eve to mourn 



       C  G              
Have no fear 
          Am                    G 
There are wounds that are not meant to heal 
         D        Em          D                
And they sing, in venere veritas           (Alternate D with a strum of Dsus2 if you like) 
       C G 
Come inside 
Am                 G 
Let the fire burn you alive 
    D          Em 
And sing, baby sing 
          D                   C                 G-D-Em             
There are wounds that are not meant to heal at all            (Play G and D for half a bar each) 

G C  Am                   
                       (Pick individual notes of C, then strum Am once. Listen to the song if you're not sure) 


(verse 2) 

Em                     G                 D                Am           C 
  There's a method to our sadness as we drag the mirrored ball and chain 
              G     D 
Through the twilight again 
D               D               
Dressed up in shame            (Let D ring into Chorus) 



       C  G 
Have no fear 
          Am                    Em      
There are wounds that are not meant to heal 
         D        G           D                
And they sing, in venere veritas              (Alternate D with a strum of Dsus2 if you like) 
       C  G 
Come inside 
Am                 G 
Let the fire burn you alive 
     D         G         
And sing, baby sing 
          D                     C              G 
There are wounds that are not meant to heal at all 
   D           G       D-Em       G                
In venere veritas                        (Play D & Em half a bar each) 

C             Am            Em  G 
  Let's fall apart together now 
C             Am            Em                   
  Let's fall apart together now              (Let Em ring out)
