   D#
You do your disappearing act
You do your disappearing act

Gm
Silence, I know I could get used to this
Gm                                        F
Cunning, your scent is something I'm not going to miss
Gm                            F
Exile, it's a small price to pay for bliss
 A#                             F
Alone, like a painter's dog without a bone
                                Cm
When there's only one thing you need to own
             D#
And that is hunger, hunger itself

Chorus:
D#            A#
I know we'll pick and wrench
A#                                F
Your night just ripped and it is torn to shreds
                          Cm
From all the lovers taken to your beds
They're empty now
    D#              A#      F   A#
And you think that you can love
    D#              A#      F   A#
And you think that you can love
    D#
And you think that you can love
              Gm
Someone into home

You do your disappearing act
You do your disappearing act

Jealousy, it's not what it's cracked up to be
Envy, gets you where you need to be
Alone, rather the river than your stepping stones
Leave the graveyard before you turn to bones
I'm tragic, you're comedy

Chorus:
Oh, baby doll
The dogs are barking, they need to be fed
All of the lepers your let in your head
Is it empty now
'Cause you think that you can love
And you think that you can love
And you think that you can love
Someone into home

You do your disappearing act
You do your disappearing act
