[Verse 1]
C E C
I rise and curse the waking day
E C E
Curse the grime and curse the stains on the air
C E C
And on the skin of the bed I'm tied within
E C
Hiding from the twitch and crash
E C
Of the mood I hear you hatch
E C
You're the mother growing cold
E C
You're the bath now running old
E C E C
I can feel the wall between us separate the filthy scene
E C E C
As I push the door aside - swallow, swallow, swallow, smile
[Chorus]
C D G D
hmm...hmm-hmm
Em D Em D Em D
But it's alright, I lie, it's Ok, I lie, it's so fine, I lie
Em D Em D Em D C D G D
It's alright, I, it's Ok here's another lie, it's so fine, here's another lie, it's so oo ooo oo ooo...
[Verse 2]
E C
I wander round the gulf between us
E C E C
Wonder how I came to feel as fragile as a broken bone
E C
As useless - I'm a broken bone
E C
Come on let's fight let's feel alive
E C
Come on let's fight let's feel alive
E C E
It's the only feeling I've kept towards you
E C E C
That resembles any passion, any tremble, any word,
E C E
I'll take and turn it, twist and pissed-on, I'll return it
C E C E
Give me more, give me, I'll swallow, swallow, swallow, smile
[Chorus]
C D G D
hmm...hmm-hmm
Em D Em D Em D
But it's alright, I lie, it's Ok, I lie, it's so fine, I lie
Em D Em D Em D C D G D
It's alright, I, it's Ok here's another lie, it's so fine, here's another lie, it's so oo ooo oo ooo...
[Outro]

G F#
And the days are oh so normal
B
oh baby, how I miss you)
