Farewell heartless world,
Fm              D#
I'll send you a postcard burnt,
     C#                    G#
In flames You've tried so hard to
                     D#      Cm
extinguish with the fear of failing,

I'll write down everything I have learned,
Fm                     D#
And edit it down to a single word,

Love

For you I'm waiting, anticipating

Chorus:
Fm                          G#
Sparks will fly beneath the luna alight,

Lazarus at Frankenstein's, babe I'll be a,

A little we die above the lesser light,

For you I'm open wide, babe I'll be a,

Flatliner for a Heartkiller

Top hats off to the return
Of the beat to lick a wound to
Cursed for some and blessed for a few
It doesn't have to make any sense at all
Come hither and we'll fall
In love, for love
I'm crawling out of patience, baby

Chorus:
Sparks will fly
Beneath the Luna alight
Lazarus at Frankenstein's
Babe, I'll be a flatliner for a heartkiller
A little we die
Above the lesser light
For you, I'm open wide
Babe, I'll be a flatliner for a heartkiller

Paint all your sorrows for me to sing
Cm   Fm
Heartkiller
C#                  D#             G#
Draw your pain and hear me hum it out

Sparks will fly
Beneath the Luna alight
Lazarus at Frankenstein's
Babe, I'll be a flatliner for a heartkiller
A little we die
Above the lesser light
For you, I'm open wide
Babe, I'll be a flatliner for a heartkiller

Oh... Oh...
Babe, I’ll be a flatliner for a heartkiller
Oh... Oh...
Babe, I’ll be a flatliner for a heartkiller
