      G#                           C#
Is it wicked not to care when they say
              G#
that you're mistaken
          C#                G#                 D#
Thinking hopes and lots of dreams that aren't there?
       G#                            C#
Is it wicked not to care when you've wasted
     G#
many hours
        C#           G#             D#
Talking endlessly to anyone that's there?

A#m
I know the truth awaits me
                                 D#
But still I hesitate because of fear

         G#                             C#
Skipping tickets making rhymes, is that all
           G#
that you believe in?
         C#               G#         D#
Wearing rags to make you pretty by design
        G#                          C#
Rusting armour for effect, it's not fun
              G#
to watch the rust grow
    C#             G#               D#
For it will all be over when you're dead

Counting acts and clutching thoughts by
the river where the moss grows
Over rocks the water running all the time
Is it wicked when you smile even though
you feel like crying
Even though you could be sick at any time?

A#m
But if there was a sequel
A#m
Would you love me as an equal?
A#m                          D#
Would you love me until I'm dead?

A#m
If there was a sequel
A#m
Would you love me like an equal?
A#m                         D#
Would you love me until I'm dead?

A#m
If there was a sequel
A#m
Would you love me like an equal?
A#m                         D#
Would you love me until I'm dead?
                           G#
Or is there someone else instead?
