The Crimson

[Intro]
Gm Eb
Gm
Eb                       Gm
  I feel it welling up inside and Robert Smith lied
Eb        Fsus2        Gm
  Boys do cry  and with  blood tears in my eyes
       Eb              Fsus2
I'm an Anne Rice novel come to life
Gm                       Eb   Fsus2
  I can't hide the monster anymore 
      Gm                   Eb     Fsus2
One can only feel desolate for so long 

[Verse 1]
     Gsus2
Until     one starts to change
    Gm
Into  something the mirror doesn't recognize
Eb
  I metamorphasize
               F
The darkness has been biding its time
Gsus2
     To claim its latest victim
Gm
  Fresh meat for carnal desires
Eb
  To become what I became
F
 I viewed the sun for the last time

[Chorus]
Eb       F             Gm
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
Eb       F                 Gm
Will you still kiss me the same when you taste my victim's
Eb            F           D
blood? So crimson and red,
          Eb                         F
I feel it flowing from your lips Crim
son and red
                            Gm
My heart is dead and so are you

[Verse 2]
And it pulses through,
the desire to change
   Eb
To deconstruct all of my,
F
 all of my past failings
Gm
  But where to begin because when you live in sin
                Eb
Hard to look at saints without them
          F                             Gm
Reflecting your jet black auras back on you
And all I have is hope,
my inner burn's not fading
Eb                            F
  I'll wipe the blood from my cheek and get on with my day

[Chorus]
Eb       F             Gm
Will you still hold me when you see what I have done?
Eb       F                 Gm
Will you still kiss me the same when you taste my victim's
Eb            F           D
blood? So crimson and red,
          Eb                         F
I feel it flowing from your lips Crim
son and red
                  Eb
All of it's so you

[Break]
And all I have is hope,
Gm
  and all I need is time
Ab                                    Gm
  To bury in pine under six feet of time
         Ab                  Eb
The lies I told me about myself
Claw my way out,
         Gm
pick the splinters from under my fingernails
Ab                  Gm            Ab
  I won't lose hope,  I won't give  in

[Bridge]
Fm     Gm       Ab
  Just live and breathe,
    Bb            Fm
try not to die again
     Gm       Ab
Just live and breathe,
                  Fm
try not to die again
     Gm       Ab
Just live and breathe,
Bb               Fm Gm Ab
  try not to die a___gain
try not to die again
