Outro 1
Ebm Ebm 
 
From  the time we intercepted
Feels a lot like suicide
B B 
 
Slow and sad, grown inside us
Arouse and see you're mine
Ebm Ebm 
 
Love  has seen your run-around
Who wanna seek you now?
B B 
 
I want a peace
I'd whine out
(See you at the bitter end)
Ebm Ebm 
 
Love's reached his side
Grab this gentleness inside
B B 
 
Heard a cry
Six feet down
In six weeks' time
The mess you left
Ebm Ebm 
 
Will end
