[Intro: ]F5 A5 F5 A5
 
Verso 1:
F5 A5
Cut the bonds with the moon
F5 A5
And let the dogs gather
F5 A5
Burn the gauze in the spoon
F5
And suck the poison up
A5
And bleed
 
F5 A5
Shut the door to the moon
F5 A5
And let the birds gather
F5 A5
Play no more with the fool
F5
And let the souls wander
A5 F5
And bleed
A5
From the soul
 
Ponte: G5 F5 A5
 
E5 D5 C5
A slow hurt.. and it breaks us..
E5 D5
And so down,
C5 E5
Down, down and so plain
D5
So down
C5 E5
When you play some more it seems so
D5 C5
And my friends are past this game
E5
Of breakdowns
D5 C5
And our friends that are lost at sea..
E5
Throw down
D5 C5
And I'll break the wasted space
E5 D5
Slow down, slow down,
C5 E5 D5
If you don't slow down, slow down
E5 D5
If you don't slow down, slow..
 
Outro:
F5 A5
Cut the bonds with the moon
F5 A5
And watch the dogs gather
