G
Hold me without touching
C G
See me but don't look
Am
Intimacy as self-destruction
Em G
Loneliness in love
G
Surround myself with hearts of gold
C G
Commit the dirtiest of crimes
Am
They'll never know the real me
Em G
For she's buried in the mines
G
Crushed by dirt and darkness
C G
As penance for her sins
Am
Trapped in self-inflicted toil
Em G
A life where no one wins
G
Peel back my iron curtains
C G
Forge a key to fit my lock
Am
I'll beg you for my freedom
D G
And yet fortify the stocks
C
I want to be a shining jewel
G
A prize for your adoration
C
A highly sought commodity
Em D
A subject of fascination
Am
But I'm the freshly fallen fruit
C G
Softly decaying where I lay
Am
Only interesting as easy pickings
G D
Something to throw away
G
So leave me in the sun to rot
C G
Regardless of my potential
Am
Maybe time will change this putrid corpse
Em G
Into something you find essential
G
Love me without knowing
C G
How pathetic I am inside
Am
I'm not ready for you to see it yet
C D G
I haven't done my time
