Am 
there's so much here 
D 
that I don't understand  
 
Em              D 
your face saving promises

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
