Intro
[G] [C]
Verse 1
[G]Watching TV tired, bleeding[C/G] on the bed
The [G]milk has just expired, all the [C/G]leaves are dead
I’m not [G]quiet, you’ve been quiet — just [C/G]receiving what you said
[G]Reeling, feeding, feeling filled by[C/G] everything you fed
I [G]see you as you see yourself through[C/G] all the books you read
[G]Overwhelmed with guilt and [C/G]realizing the disease
Chorus
[G]You give me chills, I’ve [C/G]had it with the drills
I’m [G]nothing, you are nothing, we are [C/G]nothing with the pills
I’m [G]empty till she fills, [C/G]alive until she kills
In her [G]vampire empire, I[C/G] am
[G]Falling, [C/G]yeah
[G]Falling, [C/G]yeah
Verse 2
I [G]see you there rejecting[C/G] all your earthly power
[G]Protecting and dissecting till you’ve[C/G] emptied every hour
We [G]jump into the pond, then we [C/G]come under the shower
You [G]lay upon my pillow and you[C/G] open like a flower
I [G]wanted to see you naked, I [C/G]wanted to hear you scream
[G]Wanted to kiss your skin [C/G]and your everything
I [G]wanted to be your woman, I [C/G]wanted to be your man
I [G]wanted to be the one that [C/G]you could understand
Chorus
[G]You give me chills, I’ve [C/G]had it with the drills
I’m [G]nothing, you are nothing, we are [C/G]nothing with the pills
I’m [G]empty till she fills, [C/G]alive until she kills
In her [G]vampire empire, I[C/G] am
[G]Falling, [C/G]yeah
[G]Falling, [C/G]yeah

Verse 3
N.C. N.C.
Well, I’ve walked into your dagger for the last time
N.C. N.C.
It’s like trying to start a fire with matches in the snow
N.C. N.C.
Where you can’t seem to hold me, can’t seem to let me go
N.C. N.C.
So I can’t find surrender and I can’t keep control
You [G]turn me inside out and then you [C/G]want the outside in
You [G]spin me all around, then you[C/G] ask me not to spin
You [G]say you want to be alone[C/G] and you want children
You [G]wanna be with me, you [C/G]wanna be with him
Chorus
[G]You give me chills, I’ve [C/G]had it with the drills
