Cm D# Cm Despair and Deception, Love's ugly little twins A# Cm Came a-knocking on my door, I let them in D# Cm Darling, you're the punishment for all of my former sins Chorus: A# I let love in Cm I let love in The door, it opened just a crack, but Love was shrewd and bold My life flashed before my eyes, it was a horror to behold A life-sentence sweeping confetti from the floor of a concrete hole Chorus - x2 Well, I've been bound and gagged and I've been terrorized And I've been castrated, and I've been lobotomized But never has my tormentor come in such a cunning disguise Chorus - x2 Fm O Lord, tell me what I done Please don't leave me here alone Where are my friends? Cm My friends are gone Fm O Lord, tell me what I done Please don't leave me here alone Where are my friends? Cm My friends are gone Chorus So if you're sitting all alone and hear a-knocking at your door And the air is full of promises, well buddy, you've been warned Far worse to be Love's lover than the lover that Love has scorned Chorus: I let love in, I let love in Yeah, I let love in, I let him in I let love in, yeah, I let love in I let him in, I let love in You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  Cm  D#  Fm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
