[Verse 1]
G C
Watching TV tired, bleeding on the bed
G
The milk has just expired
C
All the leaves are dead
G
I'm not quiet, you've been quiet
C
Just receiving what you said
G
Reeling feeding feeling filled by
C
Everything you fed
G
I see you as you see yourself
C
Through all the books you read
G
Overwhelmed with guilt and
C
Realising the disease
[Chorus]
G
You give me chills
C
I've had it with the drills
G
I am nothing, you are nothing
C
We are nothing with the pills
G
I am empty 'til she fills
C G
Alive until she kills in her vampire empire
C
I'm the fish and she's my gills
[Post-Chorus]
G C G C
Falling, yeah falling, yeah
[Verse 2]
G
I see you there rejecting
C
All your earthly power
G
Protecting and dissecting 'til you've
C
Emptied every hour
G
We jumped into the pond and
C
Then come under the shower
G
We lay upon my pillow and
C
You open like a flower
G
I wanted to see you naked
C
I wanted to hear you scream
G
I wanted to kiss your
C
Skin and your everything
G
I wanted to be your woman
C
I wanted to be your man
G
I wanted to be the one
C
That you could understand
[Chrous]
G
You give me chills
C
I've had it with the drills
G
I am nothing, you are nothing
C
We are nothing with the pills
G
I am empty 'til she fills
C
Alive until she kills
G
I’m her vampire empire
C
I'm the fish and she's my gills
[Post-Chrous]
G C G C
Falling, yeah falling, yeah
[Verse 3]
G
I walked into your dagger for the
C
Last time in a row
G
It's like trying to start a fire
C
With matches in the snow
G
You can't seem to hold me here
C
You can't seem to let me go
G C
So I can't find surrender, can't keep control
G
You turn me inside out and then
C
You want me outside in
G
You spin me all around and then
C
You ask me not to spin
G
You say you want to be alone
C
And then you want children
G
You wanna be with me baby
C
You wanna be with him
[Chorus]
G
You give me chills
C
I've had it with the drills
G
I am nothing, you are nothing
C
We are nothing with the pills
G
I am empty 'til she fills
C G
