F/E C C Am Am
Only the tears in your eyes could make me fall apart, could make me fall apart
Only the rain cloudy blue sky in your eyes, could make me wash my shame
Only the strong drug in my veins could make me see the stars
Only the cold morning of my soul then comes flying away
R.
Only you can make me fall asleep, whispering my mother of irony
Only the needle supreme can tear a hole in my vacant body
Only the twilight of the holy gods, the comes around
R.
C Am G
Here you are near my grave, counting the evenings from when i'm gone til the dawn of time
Come with me we'll only stroll among a sea of jokes, which we call our lives
