[Verse 1]
AmInside the dBm7b5oors are sealed to lovCe
Inside my heaDmrt is sleeping
AmInside the Bm7b5fingers of my gloCve
Inside the boE7nes of my right hand
AmInside it's Bm7b5colder than the staCrs
Inside the doDmgs are weeping
AmInside the Bm7b5circus of the wiCnd
Inside the clocks E7are filled with sand
AmInside she'll Bm7b5never hurt me
CInside the wiDmnter's creeping
AmInside the Bm7b5compass of the niCght
Inside the E7folding of the land
FOutside the staBm7b5rs are turning
AmOutside the worE7ld's still burnAming
F Bm7b5 Am E7
[Verse 2]
AmInside my Bm7b5head's a box of staCrs
I never darDmed to open
AmInside the Bm7b5wounded hide their scaCrs,
inside this E7lonesome sparrow's fall
AmInside the Bm7b5songs of our defCeat,
they sing of treaDmties broken
AmInside this Bm7b5army's in retrCeat,
we hide benE7eath the thunder's call
FOutside the raBm7b5in keeps falling
AmOutside the E7drums are calling
FOutside the floBm7b5od won't wait
AmOutside they're E7hammering down the gate
[Chorus]
DmLove is the child of an endless war
N.C.Love is an open wound still raw
CLove is a shameless banner unfurled
N.C.Love's an explosion,
N.C.Love is the fire of the world
D7Love is a violent star
N.C.A tide of destruction
Dm7Love is an angry scar
A violation,Bm7b5 a mutilation, capitulation,E7 love is annihilation, annihilation.
[Verse 3]
AmInside the Bm7b5failures of the liCght,
the night is wraDmpped around me
AmInside my Bm7b5eyes deny their siCght,
you'd never fiE7nd me in this place
AmInside we're Bm7b5hidden from the mooCnlight,
we shift betDmween the shadows
AmInside the Bm7b5compass of the niCght,
inside the E7memory of your face
FOutside the waBm7b5lls are shaking
AmInside the doE7gs are waking
FOutside the hurriBm7b5cane won't wait
AmInside they're hoE7wling down the gate
[Chorus]
DmLove is the child of an endless war
N.C.Love is an open wound still raw
CLove is a shameless banner unfurled
N.C.Love's an explosion,
N.C.Love is the fire at the end of the world
D7Love is a violent star
N.C.A tide of destruction
Dm7Love is an angry scar
N.C.The pain of instruction
Bm7b5Love is a violation, a mutilation, capitulation, Love is annihilation.
[Verse 4]
EbmI climb this tower inside my head
A spiral stair above my bed
DbI dream the stairs don't ask me why,
I throw myself into the sky
Eb7Love me like a baby, love me like an only child
Love me like an ocean; love me like a mother mild
Ebm7Love me like a father, love me like a prodigal son
Love me like a sister, love me like the world has just begun
Cm7b5Love me like a prodigy, love me like an idiot boy,
Love me like an innocent, love me like your favorite toy
BbmLove me like a virgin, love me like a courtesan,
Love me like a sinner, love me like a dying man.
[Outro]
Ebm Db Eb7 Ebm7 Cm7b5 Bbm
Annihilate me, infiltrate me, incinerate me, accelerate me,
mutilate me, inundate me,violate me, implicate me,
vindicate me, devastate me
Love me like a parasite, love me like a dying sun
Love me like a criminal, love me like a man on the run
Radiate me, subjugate me, incubate me, recreate me,
demarcate me,educate me, punctuate me, evaluate me,
conjugate me, impregnate me, designate me,
humiliate me, segregate me, opiate me, calibrate me, replicate me
