  			INTRO: (A  G#  E) 7x 


(A  G#  E) 
Without a sound  
I took her down  
and dressed in red and blue I squeezed  
Imaginary wedding gown  
That you can't wear in front of me  
A kiss goodbye, your twisted shell  
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet  
Lets say goodbye, the hundreth time  
And then tomorrow we'll do it again  

(A  G#  E) 3x 

A        G#           E 
Tomorrow we'll do it again 

(A  G#  E) 4x 


(A  G#  E) 
I dragged her down I put her out  
And back there I left her where no one could see  
And lifeless cold into this well  
I stared as this moment was held for me  
A kiss goodbye, your twisted shell  
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet  
Lets say goodbye, the hundreth time  
And then tomorrow we'll do it again  

(A  G#  E) 
I never thought it'd be this way  
Just me and you, we're here alone  
And if you stay, all I'm asking for is  
A thousand bodies piled up  
I never thought would be enough  
To show you just what I've been thinking  

(A  G#) 3x 

         A       G#     E      
And I'll keep on making more  

A  G#  F#  E 

       A     G#    F#  E 
Just to prove that I adore  
      A       G#  E 
Every inch of sanity  
        A      G#  E           A      G#  E 
All I'm asking for is, all I'm asking for is  




A     G#           E        
These hands stained red 

(A  G#  E) 
From the times that I've killed you and then  
We can wash down this engagement ring  
With poison and kerosene  
We'll laugh as we die  
And we'll celebrate the end of things  
With cheap champagne 

(A  G#  E) 7x 
  

(A  G#  E)               \ 
Without, without a sound  \  4x 
And I wish you away       / 
                         /
