The Cure - The Figurehead: Guitar Chords

C#m             B
Sharp and open, leave me alone
     F#m                 A
And sleeping less every night
        C#m                     B
As the days become heavier and weighted
               F#m      A
Waiting in the cold light
             C#m
A noise, a scream tears my clothes
        B
as the figurines tighten
F#m             A
With spiders inside them and dust
         C#m                 B
And the lips of a vision of hell
                 F#m             A              C#m
I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year

A hundred other words blind me with your purity
Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance
I think about tomorrow, please let me sleep
As I slip down the window, freshly squashed fly

         C#m    B
You mean nothing
         F#m    A
You mean nothing

I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls
All the time, lose me in the dark, please do it right
Run into the night, I will lose myself tomorrow
Crimson pain, my heart explodes
My memory in a fire, and someone will listen
At least for a short while

F#m
I can never say no
I can never say no
             C#m
To anyone but you

Too many secrets, too many lies
Writhing with hatred
Too many secrets, please make it good tonight
But the same image haunts me,
in sequence, in despair of time

       A
I will  never be clean again
C#m               B                     F#m
I touched her eyes, pressed my stained face
        A
I will never be clean again
C#m              B                  F#m
Touched her eyes, press my stained face
        A
I will never be clean again


C#m B F#m       A
        I will never be clean again
        I will never be clean again
        I will never be clean again
