(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.

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.

If you stay you'll surely burn.
