A We crossed the line, who pushed who over? It doesn't matter to you, it matters to me We're cut adrift, but still floating E A I'm only hanging on to watch you go down, my love A I disappeared in you You disappeared from me I gave you everything you ever wanted It wasn't what you wanted The men who love you, you hate the most They pass right through you like a ghost E They look for you, but your spirit is in the air A Baby, you're nowhere Chorus: A D E A Oh love A D E A You say in love there are no rules A D E A E Oh love Sweetheart A You're so cruel Desperation is a tender trap It gets you every time You put your lips to her lips To stop the lie Her skin is pale like God's only dove Screams like an angel for your love Then she makes you watch her from above And you need her like a drug Chorus F#m She wears my love D Like a see-through dress A Her lips say one thing E Her movements something else C#m Oh love Love Like a screaming flower A Love dying every hour Ah, you don't know if it's fear or desire Danger the drug that takes you higher? Head of heaven, fingers in the mire Her heart is racing you can't keep up The night is bleeding like a cut Between the horses of love and lust we are trampled underfoot Chorus You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C#m  D  E  F#m  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
