Intro: A D
A D
A D
My love is selfish
Bm A Em
And I bet that yours is too
C#7 C#aug7 C#7 F#m F#m7
What is this peculiar word called truth
Bm D/A D/Ab
A D
My love is selfish
Bm A Em
And it cares not who it hurts
C#7 C#aug7 C#7 F#m F#m7
It will cut you out to satisfy its thirst
Bm D/A D/Ab
For the meaning of a ritual so habitual and cursed

My love is selfish
Bm A Em
How it separates the earth
C#7 C#aug7 C#7 F#m F#m7
It takes every shiny stone but leaves the dirt
Bm D/A D/Ab
For the cowards in the corner who just don't know what they're worth
C#7 C#aug7 C#7 F#m F#m7
They've been twisted by a hollow kind of pain
Bm D/A D/Ab
Oh I can see it in their eyes but I ignore it every day, coz
A D
My love is selfish
Bm A Em
And remembers everything
