Red Queen

C                                            Em
I said I don't mind, but you've touched a nerve
     C                                      Em
The way you frame it, well, I got all I deserved
      C                           Em
Transgress imitation, machination tears
      C                                Em
That bring a little rust to slow the gears

[Interlude]
C Em  (x2)

[Verse 2]
C                                Em
Breathe deep and comfort the disturbed
C                                  Em
Allies cause you both disrupt the herd
C                                    Em
In the cave you fear what would you find?
C                                     Em  Em/F#
Begin to think and soon you're undermined

[Pre-Chorus]
G             D       Bm
We played our hands together
Em             Bm             A
You lose me in your blood chemistry
    G        D      Bm
Too rare to water down now
C                               Bm D
So we'd better try to match her speed

[Chorus]
C                      B5
Toast to the red queen and all she has seen
Em             D
Is it time to drink at your table?
C                    B5         Em
We can only wait and watch for so long
C                      B5
Toast to our red queen, all those who have been
 Em                        D
Sidelined, a lifetime's conviction unstable
C                 B5               Em
Where you fall is not where you belong

[Verse 2]
C                        Em
Unify behind false enemies
C                       Em
Arms race in hive mentalities
     C                                  Em
Down other lines we would have been the same
     C                                    Em Em/F#
More than the ice that wears this mask of flame

[Pre-Chorus]
G          D      Bm
Stay and reflect about them
Em               Bm               A
Beauty fades but still my charm deceives
     G                   D5  G5         Bm
This night is shared and so we use each other
      C              Bm  D
Cause misery loves company

[Chorus]
C                      B5
Toast to the red queen and all she has seen
Em             D
Is it time to drink at your table?
C                    B5         Em
We can only wait and watch for so long
C                      B5
Toast to our red queen, all those who have been
 Em                        D
Sidelined, a lifetime's conviction unstable
C                               D
Where you fall is not where you belong
DAnd so it goes again

[Otro]
Em       C                  D
A wasted day to vie for my affection
DYou're just another one
Em       C            D
You gravitate to my defection
D
Soon you'll come undone
Em         Bm
Spiny bottle blacks and blondes
C                  Am               B
Can't fake a smile so they draw it on
