Great tune from a good band.  This one is off their latest album, Pythons.  Check 'em  
out! (please forgive me if the lyrics aren't 100% correct) 

Intro/Main riff: D F# G A 

D          F#      D          F# 
Immaculate savior, this is my prayer to you 

G                     A                       G                  A 
Dampen my tongue so I can't taste the malice, numb me from any regret 

D             F#    D                        F# 
Touch me with fire, fill me with needles and pins 

G       A             D           F#    G           A         D           F# 
Unlucky weekends have left me for dead, staking out lovers to wetting the bed 

G              A     D              F# 
Fall down like rain, run through my veins 

G          A              D          F#         G             A         D 
Land on my lips where you taste like champagne, stinging like needles & pins 

We'll cover our footprints 
We'll weave it and tie dye the touch 
We'll stay up late or all night if we want to 
Hijack the earliest train 

But we should be wary 
Of who we're pretending to be 

How many weekends have left me for dead 
Staking out lovers to wetting the bed 
Fall down like rain 
Run through my veins 
Land on my lips where you taste like champagne 
Stinging like needles and pins 

Aaahhh.......Aaahhhhhh.......Aaaahhh.......Aaahhhhhhh 

You're speaking a language I know 
I am immune to your faults and short comings 
We're not so different at all 

Our covers are scorching 
The spring time is melting away 
Let's slip away to the south pass tonight 
Look to the east as the cities ignite 
Up and abroad 
Hammer of God 
Ten thousand angels in heaven above 
It sounds like the drop of a pin
