(Verse 1)
F7M Em
A mother sings a lullaby to a child
D Aadd11
Sometime in the future the boy goes wild
F7M Em D Dsus2 Aadd11
And all his nerves are feeling some kind of energy
F7M Em
A walk in the woods and I will try
D Aadd11
Something under the trees that made you cry
F7M Em D Dsus2 Aadd11
It's so erotic when your make up runs
(Chorus)
A Em
I got wiring loose inside my head
A
I got books that I never ever read
Em
I got secrets in my garden shed
A
I got a scar where all my urges bled
Em
I got people underneath my bed
I got a place where all my dreams are dead
Bb C
Swim with me into your blackest eyes
(Bridge)
D F |--> x4
(Verse 2)
F7M Em D
A few minutes with me inside my van
Aadd11
Should be so beautiful if we can
F7M Em D Dsus2 Aadd11
I'm feeling something taking over me
(Chorus)
After that chorus there is a part with distirtion guitar:

After that there is a part only with synth and bass and at last another part with
distortion guitar, which is exactly the same with the intro!
NOTES
1. The dotts above some notes mean that you have to play them with vibrato!
It's not a difficult song except from the intro and the outro,
which are played fast enough, so...
HAVE FUN!
