HUMAN WRECKAGE
By FISH SWIM NAKED
Am Em
SEE THEIR FACES SO JADED, WITH THE TORTURE THEY HAVE SEEN
G D D
I’M SPIRALLING FURTHER & FURTHER, INTO A WORTHLESS HUMAN BEING
Am Em Em
MY MOUTH SPITS OUT THIS POISON, THERE’S BILE IN EVERY WORD
G D D
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OF AFFECTION, HOW CAN LOVE BE SO ABSURD
F C C
AND I HOPE, I HOPE YOU SLEEP SAFE IN YOUR SINGLE BED TONIGHT
F C G
I KNOW I’LL BE SOLO IN MY TORTURED HEAD TONIGHT
CHORUS
Am E Em
‘COS ALL I’VE GOT NOW, IS THE HUMAN WRECKAGE I LEFT BEHIND
G D D
AND WHEN MY TIME’S OUT, HOW WILL I EVER FORGET THIS SIGHT
Am E Em
‘COS ALL I’VE GOT NOW, IS THE HUMAN WRECKAGE IN MY MIND
G D D
AND WHEN MY LIFE’S OUT, I’M GONNA’ WISH I COULD CHANGE THIS NIGHT
Am Em
EVERY MINUTE IS LABOURED, EVERY HOUR IS SO OBSCENE
G D
EVEN THE TENDEREST MOMENT CAN TURN INTO THIS SCENE
Am Em Em
YET THERE’S LOVE IN THEIR FACES, THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT’S WRONG OR RIGHT
G D
THEIR LOVE IS NON-CONDITIONAL, AS THE SCREAMS CUT THROUGH THE NIGHT
F C C
AND I HOPE, I HOPE YOU SLEEP SAFE IN YOUR PEACEFUL BED TONIGHT
F C G
I KNOW I’LL BE RESTLESS IN MY TORTURED HEAD TONIGHT
REPEAT CHORUS
F C C
AND I HOPE, I HOPE YOU SLEEP SAFE IN YOUR QUIET BED TONIGHT
F C G
I KNOW I’LL BE RESTLESS IN THE CRUEL MORNING LIGHT.
REPEAT CHORUS
