  			Intro: E      Bm  

E 
    You’re asking me 
Bm                E 
    To be kind to you 
                                 Bm 
Well, let me tell you something, dear 
                        G 
That kind of game takes two - Don’t talk of virtue 
F#m                   E     
Maybe they won’t hurt you 

Bm    

E              Bm 
  I’m wrestling 
                    E 
The air between the parts 
                Bm 
Of matter in my brain 
                   G 
You make it all so hard - Don’t talk of what you 
F#m                    E 
Think I did or did not dooooo 


E                                 Bm 
  Put your strings on me 
            G 
Subtle puppetry 
                  E 
Clip my wings and see 
                                    Bm 
Clip my wings and see 
                    G 
Put your strings on me 
            E 
Nobody will see 

E 
   An energy 
Bm                       E       
   Of threat and your despair 
            Bm 
Tells me to leave 
                   G 
I don’t want to be here - You’re salivating  
F#m                           E 
Over the mess you’re makiiiiiing  

Chorus 

G 
   Nobody will see 
Bm  
    Nobody will see 
F#m 
    Nobody will see 
C#m 
    Try me 

G 
   Nobody will see 
Bm  
    Nobody will see 
F#m 
    Nobody will see 
E 
    Try meeee 

Single Strum 
E 
  Fantastically 
Bm                  E 
    I live inside a dream 
     Bm 
Reality 
                   G 
Can not be what it seems - Don’t move I’ll hurt you 
F#m                E 
I’m devoid of virtue
