[Verso 1]
E
I never see the threat too soon
G
The blood on the bandage, the ghost in the room
F D
Got a canvas as white as the moon
A D
But when I see it at night, it's a sickening blue
E
I was thinking people never change
G
But there's a new taste of dread that I cannot explain
F D
And the thoughts that make up my life
A D
Get reflected in others from time to time
E
Now I've got another question
E G
And if we run out of time, can we make an exception
F D
For the piece that needs completion?
A D
And I want to hear more from you
Here's what I'd like to do
E
Oh, temptation
E G
I could be a part of you
F D A D
(Can't take a message)
E
Oh, completion
E
(Can't take a message)
G
Come in closer
F
Let the candle burn right through
D
(Can't take a message)
A D
If you can't get what you're after any other way
(Can't take a message)

Am I, am I, am I, am I on your mind?

Is it, is it, is it, is it what you like?

Covered under your sleeve sometime

Is it, is it, is it, is it what you like?

I'm alright, I was really in a state tonight
[Verso 2]
G A#
I won't speak, I don't know what to say
A
I can see in your prayers, it's the same things we pay for
G A#
Got a currency that you accept
A
If you want to exchange, we can try to connect
G A#
Give me the number to your room and leave the door on the latch
A
There are tigers in the jungle, there's a knife in the mattress
G A#
I don't think we broke the glass but hell if I know
A
I never learned to dance, what the hell do I know?
G A#
I know I won't always need you like this
A
I swear I'm not always falling to bits
G A#
But, but in the hallway the moment hits
A
And the set-up clicks like a safety
Yeah, you could hear a pin drop, feel it
G A#
I feel it, you'll feel it
A
You'll feel it
G A#
I feel it, you'll feel it
A
Feel it, feel it
Feel it, feel it
Feel it, feel it, two, three, four

Am I, am I, am I, am I on your mind?
C
Is it, is it, is it, is it what you like?

I was really in a state tonight

Am I, am I, am I, am I on your mind?

Is it, is it, is it, is it what you like?

I'm alright, one day hope I see you sometime
G
Old time, sometime, all the time, no time

I could take a piece from you

Em
Oh, completion
C
Let it burn, let the candle burn right through
Final G Am G Em
