Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Riff 1

Wake up in the dark

 The after-taste of anger in the back of my mouth

Spit it on the wall

And cough some more

 And scrape my skin with razor blades

 And make up in the new blood

 And try to look so good

 Follow me

Make up in the new blood

 And follow me to where the real fun is

Ha ha ha

 As stale and selfish as a sick dog

Spurning sex like an animal of god

 I'll tear your red hair by the roots

 And hold you blazing

Hold you cherished in the dead electric light

 Your face

 I'll never see you this way a---gain

 I captured it so perfectly

 As if I knew you'd disappear away

Shake shake shake shake

Shake shake shake shake

Shake dog shake

Shake shake shake shake

Shake shake shake shake

Shake dog shake

 You hit me again

 You howl and hit me again

 The same sharp pain

Wakes me in the dark

 And cuts me from my throat to my pounding heart

 My heart

 My shaking heart

 My howl my shake dog

Repeat Riff 1: C Bb F through “shake

shake dog shake”

Oh shake dog shake

Shake shake

Shake dog shake

 But we slept all night in the virgin's bed

 And dreamed of death

 And breathed like sick dogs

 We slept all night in the virgin's bed

 And breathed like death

 And dreamed of sick dogs

Shake shake

 Shake dog shake

Wake up wake up wake up

 Shake dog shake

Wake up wake up wake up

 Shake dog shake

Wake up in the new blood

Make up in the new blood

Shake up in the new blood

 And follow me to where the real fun is

 Shake dog shake

Shake dog shake

Shake dog shake
