intro :
A D A D

verse :
A D
my love is selfish ,
Bm A Em
and i bet that your’s is too .
C#m C#m7 F#m F#m7
what is this peculiar word called truth?

Bm D E7

A D
my love is selfish ,
Bm A Em
and it cares not who it hurts .
C#m C#m7 F#m F#m7
it will cut you out to satisfy its thirst
Bm D E7
for the meaning of the ritual , so habitual and cursed

A D
my love is selfish ,
Bm A Em
how it separates the earth .
C#m C#m7 F#m F#m7
it takes every shiny stone but leaves the dirt ,
Bm D E7
for the cowards in the corner who just don’t know what they’re worth
C#m C#m7 F#m F#m7
they’ve been twisted by a hollow kind of pain .
Bm D E7
oh i can see it in their eyes but i ignore it every day , because

A D
my love is selfish ,
Bm A Em
and it remembers everything
C#m C#m7 F#m F#m7
like the first time it was moved enough to sing
Bm D E7
how it dangled on that stage just like a puppet on a string
