 G                  A         Em
Fury, pure, and silver, you grip it tight inside
 G          A E
Like a knife, it glints in your eye
     F#m G                       A    Em
It’s why I’ve arrived, your sex god, here to take you where
      G       A             Em
You need to go to where the dark remembers you

D    G        A F#  G        A        C B
Open up your heart like the gates of Hell

Chorus:
     D G        C   F#
You stay soft, get beaten
Bm    A          F#    G
Only natural to harden up
      D G       C7  F#
You stay soft, get eaten
Bm    A          G     D
Only natural to harden up

I am face down on my bed
Still not quite awake yet
Thinking of you
I tuck my hand under my weight
Just tell me what you want to do
Tell me what you want
To burn away
'Cause I could be your stoker

Open up your heart like the gates of Hell

Chorus - x2
