INTRO: E Asus2

VERSE:

E								    Asus2
  The streets are dark, my pulse is flat-lined as I'm running to you

E						    Asus2
  You sit completely unaware of what I'm about to do

E							 Asus2
  The air is thick with tension much like when we are together

E							  Asus2
  My fangs are aching as I'm pondering about you and I forever


PRE-CHORUS:

B			    Asus2			      E  C#m
As I round your corner I am nervous that you won't be my lover

  B 				     Asus2			         E
I knock three times and hope that my pale complexion won't blow my cover

    C#m					
You answer the door with your innocent face

B				       Asus2
  Would you like to leave this human race, tonight?


CHORUS:

E   C#m  Asus2		    E     C#m   Asus2
  Eternity will never be enough  for   me

E   	C#m   Asus2   			  E    C#m  Asus2   
  And eternally we'll live our infallible love


(VERSE)
My brain is pumping an unusual secretion of lust
Your eyes are softer now and your chin, it drips a bloody color of rust

(PRE-CHORUS)
I am raising up the stakes of this round, I am playing for keeps
Oh, would you like to leave this human race, tonight?

(CHORUS)
Eternity will never be enough for me
And eternally we'll live our infallible love


BRIDGE:

E		        Asus2
  Follow me into the sea

E			    	       Asus2
  We'll drown together and immortalize you and me

E                   	       Asus2
  Leave behind this lonely town

E				        Asus2
  We're both better than this, it's not worth being down

(CHORUS)
Eternity will never be enough for me
and eternally we'll live our infallible love

(BRIDGE)
Follow me into the sea
We'll drown together and immortalize you and me
Leave behind this lonely town (eternally)
We're both better than this, it's not worth being down (eternally)
