[Verse 1]
D#5
The people down the street are packing up
D#5
As if they found a neighbor doing witchcraft
D#5
There isn’t anybody I can trust
D#5
So I’m alone dancing to a click track
[Pre-Chorus]
F# E F#
What’s wrong with me? I count to three
B
I screwed it up to the Judas Tree
F# E F#
I bow my head, I turn my eyes
B
I ran away, right by your side
[Chorus]
G#m F# E B/D#
I try to make it better, one candle in the rain
G#m F# E B/D#
But there’s no way around it, now I get off on the pain
G#m F# E B/D#
I get off on the pain, I get off on the pain
G#m F# E B/D#
I get off on the pain, I get off on the pain
B5 A#5 G5 B5 A#5 G5 E Bb
Lord, have mercy on my soul
[Verse 2]
D#5
Now I wonder if a man can fly
D#5
With all his sins suspended from his body
D#5
Each of us was born to live and die (Why?)
D#5
But I could never follow orthodoxy
[Pre-Chorus]
F# E F#
What’s wrong with me? I count to three
B
I screwed it up to the Judas Tree
F# E F#
I bow my head, I turn my eyes
B
I ran away, right by your side
[Chorus]
G#m F# E B/D#
I try to make it better, one candle in the rain
G#m F# E B/D#
But there’s no way around it, now I get off on the pain
G#m F# E B/D#
I get off on the pain, I get off on the pain
G#m F# E B/D#
I get off on the pain, I get off on the pain
B5 A#5 G5 B5 A#5 G5 E Bb
Lord, have mercy on my soul
[Bridge]
D#5
I look into my glass and view my wasting skin
D#5
And say, “Would God it came to pass, my heart had shrunk as thin!”
D#5
For then, I, undistrest, my heart’s grown cold to me
D#5
Could lonely wait my endless rest with equanimity
[Pre-Chorus]
F# E F#
What’s wrong with me? I count to three
B
I screwed it up to the Judas Tree
F# E F#
I bow my head, I turn my eyes
B
I ran away, right by your side
[Chorus]
G#m F# E B/D#
I try to make it better, one candle in the rain
G#m F# E B/D#
But there’s no way around it, now I get off on the pain
G#m F# E B/D#
I get off on the pain, I get off on the pain
G#m F# E B/D#
I get off on the pain, It’s in my DNA
B5 A#5 G5 B5 A#5 G5 E Bb
Lord, have mercy on my soul
