Dm Love is just like alcohol, drink deep enough you’re bound to fall It spins you round, it warms you up, it’s poison once you’ve had too much F C I’m drowning in yearning Dm Death is where the lonesome go, a place to rest their broken bones Charon won’t you take me there, griefs made life unshareable F C I’ve given in to nihilism Dm F C G Dm F C G Dm She says “No, your soul is still your own so let death go and go back home” Dm Karen how could you baptize me in waters of invulnerability? See these chains wrapped round my soul? They’re meant to drag me down below F C I came here to drown, please don’t pull me out Dm My mirror has a loathsome face, a monster’s staring back at me but death might break its tendrils free F C I’m impotent and desperate Dm F C G Dm F C G Dm She says “No, your soul is still your own so let death go and go back home” (2x) Dm Go back home, Go back home, Go back home, Go back home
