[VERSE 1]
Dmaj7 A
e||-14v e||-9v 
If piss is yellow then life must be grey
Dmaj7 A
e||-14v e||-9v 
How come they smile when we throw it away
Dmaj7 A
e||-14v e||-9v 
And if it is a colour then it must be sin
Dmaj7 A
e||-14v- e||-9v 
And you want to apologise but keep it all in

Dmaj7 A
And when their arms are dead how do they sigh
Dmaj7 A
As gentle as the winter that fades by 
Dmaj7 A
And some kind of angel appears in their eyes
Dmaj7 A
Or is it just the devil screaming inside


[PRE-CHORUS] (same as first pre-chorus, but only chords)
Why give into useless devotion

Truth and beauty, love and hate, mother and God
 
[CHORUS] (same as first chorus)
They give life and take it back
Spit you out but understand
Stay silent when you want to shout
Give when we piss it away 


[SOLO]
Guitar 2 plays these chords trough the whole solo and to the end: Eb-Bb-G#-Gm
