D             Em                    Bm
Like a marionette hanging from its strings
D                     Em                 Bm
You live you love you dance but it's not real
          D
So take a bow
   Em             Bm
Emaciated little thing
          D              Em           Bm
Cos you finally have the audience you need


[Instrumental]
D, Em, Bm, G x2


D                     Em              Bm
Thinking back to your mother's lullabies
        D                    Em             Bm
How you dreamed of drifting free across the sky
         D
Now you drag
          Em              Bm
Your approximated cut-out wings
           D                Em            Bm
Show the fractures in your perfect porcelain


D                 Em     Bm
Don't waste your life away
                   (A)
A black heart's a noose
   D                         Em          Bm
So cut your strings and come down
                    (A)          D
I feel a different way
         Em           Bm
You see bruise I see bloom
   D                   Em   Bm        G
In everything you hear sound


[Instrumental] 
D, Em, Bm, G x2


D             Em           Bm
Like a Roman candle flickering
       D            Em             Bm
Oh how easily our dreams are extinguished
       D
And I know  
                Em                 Bm
That you can't forget if you can't forgive
         D              Em             Bm
All the pain I see you burden yourself with


D                 Em     Bm
Don't waste your life away
                   (A)
A black heart's a noose
   D                         Em          Bm
So cut your strings and come down
                    (A)          D
I feel a different way
         Em           Bm
You see bruise I see bloom
   D                   Em   Bm        G
In everything you hear sound


[Instrumental] 
D, Em, Bm, G x4


D             Em       Bm
We waste our lives away
With these laments to youth
D            Em     Bm
We're all lost anyway
So cut your strings and come down
D            Em        Bm
We waste our lives away
Looking for things to lose
D            Em     Bm
We're all lost anyway
In everything you hear sound

D            Em     Bm
We waste our lives away
Cos the black heart in you
D            Em     Bm
We're all lost anyway
Is the only thing that I've found
D            Em     Bm
We waste our lives away
That matters at all
D            Em     Bm
We're all lost anyway
