Verse 1:
Em                    D                      A
Throw your dollar bills and leave your thrills all here with me
Em                     D               A
And speak but don't pretend I won't defend you anymore you see
Em                    D              A
It aches in every bone I'll die alone but not for you
Em           D                           A
My eyes don't need to see that ugly thing I know its me you fear
Em            D       A
If you want me hold me back

Chorus:
Em                        D                         A
Frail the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail  and so it goes
D           A
Back to the remedy
Em                          D                               A
Clip the wings that get you high just leave them where they lie and tell yourself
D             A
You'll be the death of me

Verse 2:
Em                   D              A
I don't need a friend I need to mend so far away
Em             D                       A
So come sit by the fire and play awhile,but you can't stay too long
Em                    D              A
It aches in every bone I'll die alone but not for pleasure
Em       D                              A
I see my  heart explode it's been eroded by the weather here
Em            D       A
If you want me hold me back

Chorus:
Em                        D                         A
Frail the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail  and so it goes
D           A

Em                          D                               A

D             A
You'll be the death of me

Hold your eyes closed and take me in (2x)

Chorus:
