[Verse]
 
             Am                 F   E
She'll never know what's eating me alive
         Am                     F    E
A hungry demi-god that will not be denied
     F
I am foundering on the absence
     G
Of desire meant for me
     F                           E
Laid bare imagination for all to see
               Am
Where does she sleep?
               F          E
And where does sleep find she?
        Am                     F/C     E
Maybe I want my bitter visions to come real
     F
On a pilgrimage of lusting
     G
That should've come my way
       F                               E
But my mind, it is a gaol called Jealousie
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     Em                       Bm
On a wing of innocence fly me out of here
   G        D                     E
Surrendered faith but I'm holding dread
      Em                        Bm
And I pray to consequence if my voice you hear
      G      D               E
For a better man to be in my head

[Verse 2]
 
             Am                  F      E
I'll never show the knife that's deep inside
             am                      F      E
How with its twist the more it cuts away at pride
       F
Like a rabid dog at communion
        G
That we could not hide away
    F                                 E
The family's secret bloodstained history
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
     Em                       Bm
On a wing of innocence fly me out of here
   G        D                     E
Surrendered faith but I'm holding dread
      Em                        Bm
And I pray to consequence if my voice you hear
      G      D               E
For a better man to be in my head

     Em                       Bm
On a wing of innocence fly me out of here
   G        D                     E
Surrendered faith but I'm holding dread
      Em                        Bm
And I pray to consequence if my voice you hear
      G      D               E
For a better man to be in my head
   G        D                     E
Surrendered faith but I'm holding dread
      G      D               E
For a better man to be in my head
