[Verse 1]
F#sus4    B9           A                     F#sus4
May Days, Throwaways - some things here have got to stay
F#sus4               B9                  Asus4           Gsus4
A string of pearls, the strangest girl - happy with the Western world

Gsus4               Asus4
Painless Chinese burns
Asus4             Gsus4
Ties me down with daisy chains
Gsus4               Asus4
Diamonds on her tongue
Asus4              NC
Pleasure cuts and teasing

[Chorus]
B9             D
M'aidez - this is no m'aidez
Gsus4
Open charms are lost on velvet
B9      D                  Gsus4
Maybe this is no m'aidez, m'aidez

[Verse 2]
F#sus4         B9              A                     F#sus4
Dead zones and half-way homes, still life lived on mobile phones
F#sus4                    B9                Asus4             Gsus4
But the girl had wings and precious things, under sheets with tangled limbs

Gsus4          Asus4
Wide awake at dawn
Asus4                   Gsus4
The sun will choose to shine on
Gsus4          Asus4
Silence says it all
Asus4               NC
Reaching out and blessing

[Chorus]
B9             D
M'aidez - this is no m'aidez
Gsus4
Open charms are lost on velvet
B9      D                     Gsus4
Maybe this is no m'aidez, m'aidez

[Chorus repeat]
B9             D
M'aidez - this is no m'aidez
Gsus4
Open charms are lost on velvet
B9      D                     Gsus4
Maybe this is no m'aidez, m'aidez

F#sus4               B9                    A                F#sus4
The higher we climb, the smaller we seem - mad with possibilities
F#sus4        B9           Asus4             Gsus4
No design, a zigzag girl - happy with the Western world

Gsus4              Asus4
Painless Chinese burns
Asus4             Gsus4
Ties me down with daisy chains
Gsus4               Asus4
Diamonds on her tongue

M'aidez - this is no m'aidez
Gsus4
Open charms are lost on velvet
B9      D                     Gsus4
Maybe this is no m'aidez, m'aidez
