[Intro]
Dm A F G
[Verse]
Dm A F G
Can't you see I'm in decay?
Dm A F G
Like a pitchfork in the rain.
Dm A F G
Rusted red my metal stained,
Dm A F G
I'm cracking up like peeling paint.
[Chorus]
Dm A F G Gm F E Dm
Hold me close to your... to your... to your heart...
Dm A F G
[Verse]
Dm A F G
Can't you see I'm in denial?
Dm A F G
Like a clown that paints his smile.
Dm A F G
This head's a junkyard gone to pot,
Dm A F G
Just a milk-tooth left to rot.
[Chorus]
Dm A F G Gm F E Dm
Hold me close to your... to your... to your heart...
Dm A F G
[Verse]
Dm A F G
Can't you see my memory fade?
Dm A F G
Like a washboard scrubbing stains.
Dm A F G
My tongue has twisted in to knots,
Dm A F G
My words are stories with no plots.
[Chorus]
Dm A F G Gm F E Dm
Hold me close to your... to your... to your heart...
Dm A F G
[Verse]
Dm A F G
Can't you see me fall apart?
Dm A F G
Like a burning house of cards!
Dm A F G
Clubs and diamonds in array,
Dm A F G
The spades are digging their own graves.
[Chorus]
Dm A F G Gm F E Dm
Hold me close to your... to your... to your heart...
