(Intro)

Eb - Bbmin7

Eb Bbm7

I lay down beside you:

Eb Bbm7

I am a unicorn, you a virginal maid,

Cm Ebm

and I come in laughing play

Ebm Fm Ebm Ebm Dbm Eb

but, maybe, to be saved.

Eb Bbm7

Peer through the backcloth:

Eb Bbm7

I am a character in the play.

Cm Ebm

The words I slur are pre-ordained,

Ebm Fm Ebm Ebm Dbm Eb

we know them anyway.

Db B

Don't change your mind, don't be a fickle friend;

Db Ebm

don't change your mind, don't pretend

Dbm Cm

to something false.

Eb Bbm7

Open the toy-box :

Eb Bbm7

You are Pandora, I am the World.

Cm Ebm

If you cross the stream, you never can return;

Ebm Fm Ebm Ebm Dbm Eb

If you stay, you'll surely burn.

(instrumental verse)

Eb Bbm7

Eb Bbm7

Cm Ebm

Ebm Fm Ebm Ebm Dbm

Db B

Don't change your mind, don't come all orchid eyes;

Db Ebm Dbm Cm

don't change your mind, don't disguise the fear you feel,

Cm Bbm->Cm Eb

it's real, and you must

Bbm7

guard your castle well,

Eb Bbm7

for I am the lone wolf and the boar at bay.

Cm Ebm

Grant me your Pax, you know we only live today,

Ebm Dbm Dbm Cm Cm Bbm->Cm

and on, and on, and into

Eb Bbm7

"So long"

Eb

It takes so long to drown,

Bbm7 Cm

it takes so very long to choke on the taste you'd spurned.

Ebm

If you cross the stream you never can return,

Ebm Ebm Fm Ebm Ebm Dbm Eb

If you stay you'll surely burn.

Ebm Ebm Fm Ebm Ebm Dbm Eb

If you stay you'll surely burn.

Ebm Ebm Fm Ebm Ebm Dbm Cm

If you stay you'll surely burn.
