Intro: Gm
Verse:
Gm Cm Csus4
You're a diamond that I'm afraid to touch
Gm Cm
You're damn near flawless and I'm sure you'd cut
Eb F
on my eyes, my hands, my head, my heart
F#dim Gm
You tear this canvas skin apart
F#dim D7 Gm F F#dim Gm
Oh, what a waste of human art that'd be
Gm Cm
You're a dungeon, but you're made of glass
Gm Cm
Your prisoners have no idea they're trapped
Eb F
'cause you look so beautiful inside
F#dim Gm
It makes us feel like we're alive
F#dim D7 G
but lord knows we'll never survive your walls

G Cm G
But didn't you know that all along
Cm G
You didn't need to hear your song
Cm
and if you don't know that
Eb Ebm F Gm
then you might as well be dead
Interlude: Gm F Gm
Verse:
Gm Cm Csus4 Cm
Medusa's child preserved her former looks

just to get back at all of the men
F#dim Gm
who have tried time and time again
F#dim D7 Gm F F#dim Gm
to claim the right of her demise and end
Gm Cm
A million years go by and you're still around
Gm Cm
You're knocking us off our feet; you're knocking us down
Eb F
but we still can't leave you alone

The way you move one would be prone
F#dim D7 G
to want to be turned into stone by you

G Cm G
But didn't you know that all along

You didn't need to hear your song
Cm
and if you don't know that

You make me feel so alive

'cause you just knew it all along

you might as well, might as well be dead
