    Little pieces 
                      F# 
Are fallin' all around 
                    Ab 
But you delight in coinciding with the revelry 
D#m                                   F# 
Your black magic has got me mesmerized

     Every time that you would say that you would set me free 
                               Ab 
You corner, capture, kill and cultivate your love for me

 Db 
So tell me your lies 
D#m 
    When the blackout comes 'cause I looked away 
Ab                    Bb      Bb
