Temptation hides

In the space between

In your presence, consequence

I can't stop trembling



Chorus (0:53)

Am                 C
For all of my virtue

For all my good fortune
                           G
I would change my place with you

Am               C
This path will lead us back

Will lead us back to ruin

Verse (1:53)

Am
Once in a while
F
The urge resurfaces
Am
So we split hairs
                F
As rumours circulate
Am
And there's a need to fertilise
F
Behind my lover's trusting eye
Am
Like water drops on burning warts
F                G
I can't stop trembling



Chorus (2:23)

For all my good fortune
            F                D
I would change my place with you
Am               C
This path will lead us back
         F             D
Will lead us back to ruin
Am           C
For all of my virtue
        F               D
Why can I not hold the truth?
