[Intro]
E C#m A x2

[Verse 1]
E                                  C#m    A
Closed doors, there's not a single sound
E                                    C#m       A
Is this heaven or a figment of existence

E
Self-affliction, a great white addiction
    C#m           A
I'm up against my walls
E                                             C#m  A
Still you stood as his chest fell to the floor

     C#m   A    F#m
She leaves me, hanging

[Chorus]
         E
She's a hot mess
                             C#m  A
Soft in the flesh, she's cynical
E
Mentally unsound
                       C#m  A
We're dabbling in chemicals

        E
She's dancing around in beds
                          C#m  A
Well it's not quite empirical
         E
And if returned in kind
                           C#m
Would that lead me back to you
   A
To you


[Instrumental]

E C#m A


[Verse 2]
       E
Are we there yet
                                C#m  A
She's desperate for a peace of mind
             E
She says I'm not the one
                     C#m    A
To give her all my time
         E
She's an avid reader
                            C#m  A
Of the thrill, mystery, in kind
            E
Oh but I'll bet she didn't
She didn't read the part
           C#m         A
'Bout the fray, when I lost my mind

[Chorus]
         E
She's a hot mess
                             C#m  A
Soft in the flesh, she's cynical
E
Mentally unsound
                       C#m  A
We're dabbling in chemicals

        E
She's dancing around in beds
                          C#m  A
Well it's not quite empirical
         E
And if returned in kind
                                C#m
Would that bring me back to her arms
     A
Her arms


[Instrumental]

E C#m A x2


[Bridge]
        E
Took a last drag, she's gone with the ash
                C#m  A
She's unstoppable

[Chorus]
E
Lost in her charms
                             C#m  A
Like the city lights on the walls
    E
She loses herself to sex
                           C#m  A
No, it's not quite commendable
              E
Oh, and if returned in kind
                                C#m
Would that lead me back to her heart
     A
Her heart


[Outro]
