Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse

You're a diamond that I'm afraid to touch

You're damn near flawless and I'm sure you'd cut

 on my eyes, my hands, my head, my heart

 You tear this canvas skin apart

 Oh, what a waste of human art that'd be

You're a dungeon, but you're made of glass

Your prisoners have no idea they're trapped

 'cause you look so beautiful inside

 It makes us feel like we're alive

 but lord knows we'll never survive your walls

Chorus

But didn't you know that all along

 You didn't need to hear your song

 and if you don't know that

 then you might as well be dead

Interlude

Verse

Medusa's child preserved her former looks

She kept her out of all the storybooks

 just to get back at all of the men

 who have tried time and time again

 to claim the right of her demise and end

A million years go by and you're still around

You're knocking us off our feet; you're knocking us down

 but we still can't leave you alone

 The way you move one would be prone

 to want to be turned into stone by you

Chorus

But didn't you know that all along

 You didn't need to hear your song

 and if you don't know that

 then you might as well be dead

Bridge

You make me feel so alive

 but its consequence: I want to be dead

Was it how you arrived?

 I can't tell or was it in the way you left...

 us.... here?

Instrumental

Chorus

But didn't you know that all along

 You didn't need to hear your song

 and if you don't know that

 then you might as well be, you might as well, oh

You didn't need to hear your song

 'cause you just knew it all along

 You didn't know that so

 you might as well, might as well be dead
