Sting - Inside Chords

[Verse 1]
Am          Bm7b5                 C
Inside the doors are sealed to love
             Dm            
Inside my heart is sleeping
Am         Bm7b5            C
Inside the fingers of my glove
             E7
Inside the bones of my right hand
Am          Bm7b5              C
Inside it's colder than the stars
             Dm
Inside the dogs are weeping
Am         Bm7b5           C
Inside the circus of the wind
                  E7
Inside the clocks are filled with sand 
Am            Bm7b5
Inside she'll never hurt me
C            Dm
Inside the winter's creeping
Am         Bm7b5            C
Inside the compass of the night
           E7
Inside the folding of the land

F              Bm7b5
Outside the stars are turning
Am             E7             Am
Outside the world's still burning 

F Bm7b5 Am E7

[Verse 2]

Am        Bm7b5              C
Inside my head's a box of stars
           Dm
I never dared to open
Am         Bm7b5                 C
Inside the wounded hide their scars,
            E7
inside this lonesome sparrow's fall
Am         Bm7b5           C
Inside the songs of our defeat,
                 Dm
they sing of treaties broken
Am          Bm7b5         C
Inside this army's in retreat,
           E7
we hide beneath the thunder's call

F             Bm7b5
Outside the rain keeps falling
Am          E7
Outside the drums are calling
F              Bm7b5
Outside the flood won't wait
Am              E7
Outside they're hammering down the gate

[Chorus]
Dm
Love is the child of an endless war
N.C.
Love is an open wound still raw 
C
Love is a shameless banner unfurled
N.C.
Love's an explosion, 
N.C.
Love is the fire of the world
D7
Love is a violent star
N.C.
A tide of destruction
Dm7
Love is an angry scar
            Bm7b5                       E7
A violation, a mutilation, capitulation, love is annihilation, annihilation.


[Verse 3]
Am         Bm7b5             C
Inside the failures of the light,
                Dm
the night is wrapped around me
Am        Bm7b5             C
Inside my eyes deny their sight,
              E7
you'd never find me in this place
Am           Bm7b5              C
Inside we're hidden from the moonlight,
            Dm
we shift between the shadows
Am         Bm7b5            C
Inside the compass of the night,
           E7
inside the memory of your face

F             Bm7b5
Outside the walls are shaking
Am           E7
Inside the dogs are waking
F                Bm7b5
Outside the hurricane won't wait
Am               E7
Inside they're howling down the gate

[Chorus]
Dm
Love is the child of an endless war
N.C.
Love is an open wound still raw 
C
Love is a shameless banner unfurled
N.C.
Love's an explosion,
N.C.
Love is the fire at the end of the world
D7
Love is a violent star
N.C.
A tide of destruction
Dm7
Love is an angry scar
N.C.
The pain of instruction
Bm7b5
Love is a violation, a mutilation, capitulation, Love is annihilation.


[Verse 4]
Ebm
I climb this tower inside my head 
A spiral stair above my bed 
Db
I dream the stairs don't ask me why, 
I throw myself into the sky

Eb7
Love me like a baby, love me like an only child
Love me like an ocean; love me like a mother mild
Ebm7
Love me like a father, love me like a prodigal son
Love me like a sister, love me like the world has just begun
Cm7b5
Love me like a prodigy, love me like an idiot boy,
Love me like an innocent, love me like your favorite toy
Bbm
Love me like a virgin, love me like a courtesan,
Love me like a sinner, love me like a dying man.


[Outro] 
Ebm Db Eb7 Ebm7 Cm7b5 Bbm

Annihilate me, infiltrate me, incinerate me, accelerate me,
mutilate me, inundate me,violate me, implicate me,
vindicate me, devastate me

Love me like a parasite, love me like a dying sun
Love me like a criminal, love me like a man on the run

Radiate me, subjugate me, incubate me, recreate me, 
demarcate me,educate me, punctuate me, evaluate me,
conjugate me, impregnate me, designate me, 
humiliate me, segregate me, opiate me, calibrate me, replicate me
