Am Bm7-5 C Inside the doors are sealed to love Dm Inside my heart is sleeping Am Bm7-5 C Inside the fingers of my glove E7 Inside the bones of my right hand Inside it's colder than the stars Inside the dogs are weeping Inside the circus of the wind Inside the clocks are filled with sand Inside she'll never hurt me Inside the winter's creeping Inside the compass of the night Inside the folding of the land F Outside the stars are turning Bm7-5 E7 Am Outside the world's still burning Inside my head's a box of stars I never dared to open Inside the wounded hide their scars, inside this lonesome sparrow's fall Inside the songs of our defeat, they sing of treaties broken Inside this army's in retreat, we hide beneath the thunder's call Outside the rain keeps falling Outside the drums are calling Outside the flood won't wait Outside they're hammering down the gate Chorus: Dm Love is the child of an endless war Love is an open wound still raw C Love is a shameless banner unfurled Love's an explosion, Love is the fire of the world D7 Love is a violent star A tide of destruction Dm7 Love is an angry scar Bm7-5 A violation, a mutilation, capitulation, E7 love is annihilation, annihilation. Inside the failures of the light, the night is wrapped around me Inside my eyes deny their sight, you'd never find me in this place Inside we're hidden from the moonlight, we shift between the shadows Inside the compass of the night, inside the memory of your face Outside the walls are shaking Inside the dogs are waking Outside the hurricane won't wait Inside they're howling down the gate Chorus I climb this tower inside my head A spiral stair above my bed I dream the stairs don't ask me why, I throw myself into the sky Love me like a baby, love me like an only child Love me like an ocean; love me like a mother mild Love me like a father, love me like a prodigal son Love me like a sister, love me like the world has just begun Love me like a prodigy, love me like an idiot boy, Love me like an innocent, love me like your favorite toy Love me like a virgin, love me like a courtesan, Love me like a sinner, love me like a dying man. Annihilate me, infiltrate me, incinerate me, accelerate me, mutilate me, inundate me, violate me, implicate me, vindicate me, devastate me Love me like a parasite, love me like a dying sun Love me like a criminal, love me like a man on the run Radiate me, subjugate me, incubate me, recreate me, demarcate me,educate me, punctuate me, evaluate me, conjugate me, impregnate me, designate me, humiliate me, segregate me, opiate me, calibrate me, replicate me You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  Dm  D7  Dm7  E7  F  Bm  Bm7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
