C
You're cold and sweet, just like ice cream
C
With eyes so big I hoped you'd see
F G
You begged for grace, you left no grace for me
C
You traded places with the sun
C
Made me orbit around your love

With no regard or notice of
C
my world below you burning up
F
So don't you come any closer
C
Don't you come any closer
Instrumental: C

Yeah I closed my eyes, I dreamed today
C
I lust for all those memories
F
But ashes fell to ashes
F
And I laid to rest those better days
C
You washed your hands all clean of me
C
But look there's blood left on your sleeve
F
Now everywhere you'll ever be,
C
at least you will remember me
F
But don't you come any closer
C
And don't you come any closer
F
And don't you come any closer

And don't you come any closer

Oh help me please, I'm ruined by your love

And oh, shame on me I took at your word

Is that really all it's worth?

Don't you come any closer
C
Don't you come any closer
C
Cause I closed my eyes, I dreamed today
C
I lust for all those memories

But ashes fell to ashes, yeah ashes fell to ashes

So don't you come any closer

Don't you come any closer

Don't you come any closer

Oh don't you come any closer
