(ver. 3)
Natalie Merchant
Intro : Em D C G Am D

Em              D 
take a look at my body 
C        G 
look at my hands 
Am 
there's so much here 
D 
that I don't understand  
 
Em              D 
your face saving promises 
C             G 
whispered like prayers 
G 
I don't need them 
D 
I don't need them  
 
Em  
I've been treated so wrong 
G 
I've been treated so long 
Em                D 
as if I'm becoming untouchable 
 
 
Em              D 
contempt loves the silence 
C               G 
it thrives in the dark 
Am  
with fine winding tendrils 
D 
that strangle the heart  
 
Em           D 
they say that promises 
C          G 
sweeten the blow 
G 
but I don't need them 
D 
no, I don't need them  
 
Em  
I've been treated so wrong 
G  
I've been treated so long 
Em                D 
as if I'm becoming untouchable  
 
Em 
I'm a slow dying flower 
G 
frost killing hour 
Em 
the sweet turning sour 
D 
and untouchable  
 

Em D C G Am D

 
o, I need 
Em 
the darkness 
Em
the sweetness 
G 
the sadness 
G
the weakness 
D 
I need this  
 
I need 
Em 
A lullaby 
Em
a kiss goodnight 
G 
angel sweet 
G
love of my life 
D 
o, I need this  
 
Em 
I'm a slow dying flower 
G 
frost killing hour 
Em 
the sweet turning sour 
D 
and untouchable  

G                D 
do you remember the way 
C                G 
that you touched me before 
Am 
all the trembling sweetness 
D 
I loved and adored?  
 
 
Em              G  
your face saving promises 
C             G 
whispered like prayers 
G 
I don't need them 
D 
no, I don't need them  

Emmm 
o, I need 
Em 
the darkness 
Em
the sweetness 
G 
the sadness 
G
the weakness 
D 
I need this  
 
I need 
Em 
A lullaby
Em 
a kiss goodnight 
G 
the angel sweet 
G
love of my life 
D 
I need this  
 
Em 
well is it dark enough?  
Em
can you see me?  
G           
do you want me?  
G
can you reach me?  
G  D 
or I'm leaving  
 
Em  
and you better shut your mouth 
Em
hold your breath 
G                       
kiss me now you'll catch my death 
D 
o, I mean this
D
o, I mean this


Em D C G Am Em
