Standard (EADGBE)

The song comes in with organ, but it's then joined by acoustic guitar. I'm just

going to call the C#aug7(w5) the C#aug7 from here on in:

Intro

My love is selfish

 And I bet that yours is too

What is this C#aug7peculiar word called truth

My love is selfish

 And it cares not who it hurts

It will cut you out tC#aug7o satisfy its thirst

 For the meaning of a ritual so habitual and cursed

My love is selfish

 How it separates the earth

 It takes every shinyC#aug7 stone but leaves the dirt

 For the cowards in the corner who just don't know what they're worth

 They've been twisted by aC#aug7 hollow kind of pain

 Oh I can see it in their eyes but I ignore it every day, coz

My love is selfish

 And remembers everything

 Like the first time it wasC#aug7 moved enough to sing

 How it dangled on that stage just like a puppet on a string
