Cm                 D#
Revere a million prayers
      A#              Cm
And draw me into the holiness
                     D#
But there's nothing there
             A#
Light only shines
                Cm
From those who share

Cm                  D#
Unleash a million drones
        A#            Cm
And confine me then erase me babe
                D#
Do you have no soul
              A#
It's like it died
       G#
Long ago

Chorus:
      G               Cm
Your lips feel warm to the touch
          A#              G#
You can bring me back to life
        G               Fm            G#
On the outside you're ablaze and alive
            G
But you're dead inside

You're free to touch the sky
Whilst I am crushed and pulverised
Because you need control
Now I'm the one who's letting go
You like to give an inch
Whilst I am giving infinity
But now I've got nothing left
You have no cares and I'm bereft

Chorus

Cm
Feel me now
G#
Hold me please
   D#               A#
I need to see who I am
     Cm
Open up to me
      G#
Stop hiding from me
      D#
It's hurting babe
      A#                  Cm
Only you can stop the pain

       G#          D#
Don't leave me out in the cold
       A#              Cm
Don't leave me out to die
           G#
I gave you everything
                 D#
I can't give you anymore
            A#             G#
Now I've become just like you

Chorus:
My lips feel warm to the touch
My words seem so alive
My skin is warm to caress
I'll control and hypnotize
You've taught me to lie without a trace
And to kill with no remorse
On the outside I'm the greatest guy
Now I'm dead inside
(Dead inside)
