G#m            B
Down among the dead
             F#                E
The wide-eyed and the legless, only half a head
G#m             B
Half a mouth to laugh from the porthole
F#                 E
With the more than faded epitaphs

G#m B F# E x2


Chorus:

B                  E         G#m              F#
Will you ever more tie up my hair with velvet bows?
B                 E             G#m               F#
Will you ever more pull out the splinters from my toes?
I don't think so


2nd Verse:

G#m               B                 F#
Out in the hornet rain the swarming stingers
        E
Pumping poison through my veins
G#m            B
Lacking on the star-crossed lover's map
F#               E
Take the beating lash, lash for lash

G#m B F# E x2


Chorus:

B                 E           G#m               F#
Will we ever more kiss on the boardwalks fading red?
B                   E             G#m           F#
In the light of the waves and the comets waning tail
I don't think so


Outro (Play x4):

G#m                B             F#m
No more looking back, looking back, looking back
E
Faded epitaph
