Intro: D Bm D Bm E Gb G

   D        Bm
My love is sick
    D        Bm
It leaks and bleeds
    E         Gb       G
All over me, under my nicest shirt
D             Bm
Vines without roots
      D           Bm
Like knives in my body
    E          Gb
And I am their puppet
G
Twisting till I hurt

Interlude: D Bm D Bm E Gb G

   D       Bm
My love is sick
    D         Bm
I’m running a fever
   E       Gb      G
So high I peel my skin to breathe
D             Bm         D           Bm
Birds without cages find perch on my ribs
      E       Gb         G
And I stitch myself back up to keep them in

Interlude: D Bm D Bm E Gb G

           A
You’re an infection
Bm
I am keeping
   G          A
No matter the sepsis
Bm
You are staying
    G
I’d rather the wound
     D
Than have you removed
       Em
Enough rotting for two
A                       Bm
Killing me, keeping me high

Interlude: D E Gb G

   D       Bm
My love is sick
     D         Bm
It’s messy and wrong
      E          Gb         G
But I pray for a bit of contagion
D             Bm
Hands without fingers
     D             Bm
Like spoons at the source
     E       Gb           G
Coat evenly, oh won’t you touch me


           A
You’re an infection
Bm
I am keeping
   G          A
No matter the sepsis
Bm
You are staying
    G
I’d rather the wound
     D
Than have you removed
       Em
Enough rotting for two
A                       Bm
Killing me, keeping me high

(Hold me, let me go)


           Bm
You’re the cure
            G
You’re the curse
                                 Em
You make it better, you make it worse
                        A
You’re my killer and my Christ

(But I’m the one twisting the knife)


G         A
You’re an infection
Bm
I am keeping
   G          A
No matter the sepsis
Bm
You are staying
    G
I’d rather the wound
     D
Than have you removed
       Em
Enough rotting for two
A
Killing me, keeping me high


G          A
You’re an infection
Bm
I am keeping
   G          A
No matter the sepsis
Bm
You are staying
    G
I’d rather the wound
     D
Than have you removed
       Em
Enough rotting for two
A                       Bm
Killing me, keeping me high

Interlude: D E Gb G

    D      Bm
My love is sick
      D        Bm
It’s taking me whole
    E        Gb        G
I’m simply a host to a haunting
D              Bm             D         Bm
Ghosts without corpses still linger in flesh
E              Gb             G
Holding onto a love they keep wanting
