Am       Em        Am 
Touch my mouth and hold my tongue 
Am         Em       Am 
I'll never be your chosen one 
         F   Em              Am 
I'll be home safe and tucked away    
          F 
Well you can't tempt me 
   Em              Am 
If I don't see the day    

    Am         Em        Am 
The pull on my flesh was just too strong 
  Am        Em         Am 
Stifled the choice and the air in my lungs 
        F     Em                 Am 
Better not to breath to breath a lie   
             F       Em              Am 
Cause when I open my body I breath a lie    

Am         F    Am   Em Am  G   Am 
I will not speak of         our sin   
Am         F    Am    Em Am  G   Am 
There was a way out          for him   
Am         F   Am   Em Am   G   Am 
The mirror shows                not  
Am          F  Am  Em Am   G  Am 
Your values are           all short 

    Am    G  Am    G    Am    G  Am      C      F 
But oh    my heart was flawed I  knew    my weakness 
   Am   G   Am   G  Am  G  Am   C      F 
So hold my hand consign me not  to darkness 

Am          Em              Am 
Crawl on my belly until the sun goes down 
Am         Em               Am 
I'll never wear your broken crown 
           F        Em            Am 
I took the rope and fucked it all away  
     F            Em                Am 
This twilight how dare you speak of grace    

Am          Em              Am 
Crawl on my belly until the sun goes down 
Am         Em               Am 
I'll never wear your broken crown 
           F        Em            Am 
I took the rope and fucked it all away  
     F            Em                Am 
This twilight how dare you speak of grace    

Am           Em             Am 
Crawl on my belly until the sun goes down 
Am         Em               Am 
I'll never wear your broken crown 
           F        Em             Am 
I took the rope and fucked it all away    
          F           Em            Am 
In his twilight are choices seal our fate
