[Intro]

A    G    A    G
A    G    A    G

[Verse 1]

A          G
Why is my enemy so deep inside
A                G
 Buried in black coal
A            G
I sold you a favour in the dark
      A                G
Got a salt dream and a red sca-ar

[Verse 2]

A     G
Weak, bending in the wind
   A              G
To good words and white skin
A             G
Metaphors cut ignorance to pieces
     A                     G         G*
Just watch me crawl out of lo-o-ove

[Bridge]

D
Why?
     G
Look back upon love
 D
Steel and sulphur
    G
The city of love
D
Cities are grey
C                  G
Nothing is here to sta-a-ay

[Verse 3]

A    G        A
         Just peel
G    A
      Peel
G
 Rip away your layers
A          G
Hit me and love me babe
A                  G
Hooks and pins the weapons of a dream
A                 G        G*
Touch, then fall awa-a-ay

[Bridge]

D
Why?
     G
Look back upon love
 D
Steel and sulphur
    G
The city of love
D
Cities are grey
C                  G
Nothing is here to sta-a-ay

[Chorus]

        D    G
Tell me why
        D    G
Tell me why
        D   C G
Tell me why-y-y

[Verse 4]

A    G    A    G    A    G                   A           G
                            That's the sound of my head
A    G    A    G          A               G
                  And the texture of gas
A    G          A             G
        And the wolf in skin
        A        G      A    G    A    G    A
And the touch in sheep
