Here is the complete song:


Intro:  E6   Gdim6   E6   Gdim6   (a couple of times)

    E6                             Gdim6
Her gaze hit the side of mine so I opened it out
     E6                         Gdim6
To destroy what you thought was difference
     E6
So I lied to you once again
     Gdim6
So I painted over you once again
     E6
So I die before you once again
           Gdim6
What's the difference?

E6   Gdim6   E6   Gdim6

     E6
Come clearly where the flavour is
     Gdim6
Seen here in black and white
       E6
You've got two seconds, baby boy
   Gdim6
In burning light white light
           E6          G   E6   G
What's the difference?

Em
Clear up what you are
G
Burn out these eyes
F#
Rip up this place and scream

          Em           G   F#
I am your slice of life
          Em           G   F#
I am your slice of life
          Em           G   F#
I am your slice of life
          Em           G   F#
I am your slice of life (life)


Slight interlude: G/E   G*   (
