Standard (EADGBE)

The song comes in with organ, but it's then joined by acoustic guitar. I'm just

going to call the C#aug7(w5) the C#aug7 from here on in:

Intro

My love is selfish

 And I bet that yours is too

What is this peculiar word called truth

My love is selfish

 And it cares not who it hurts

It will cut you out to satisfy its thirst

 For the meaning of a ritual so habitual and cursed

My love is selfish

 How it separates the earth

 It takes every shiny stone but leaves the dirt

 For the cowards in the corner who just don't know what they're worth

 They've been twisted by a hollow kind of pain

 Oh I can see it in their eyes but I ignore it every day, coz

My love is selfish

 And remembers everything

 Like the first time it was moved enough to sing

 How it dangled on that stage just like a puppet on a string
