Tuning: Standard
INTRO:
[A] [D] [A] [D]
VERSE:
[A] My love is [D]selfish,
and I [Bm]bet that [A]your's is [Em]too.
[C#m]What is this p[C#m7]eculiar word called [F#m]truth?[F#m7]
[Bm] [D] [E7]
[A] My love is [D]selfish,
and it [Bm]cares not [A]who it [Em]hurts.
It will [C#m]cut you out to [C#m7]satisfy its [F#m]thirst[F#m7]
For the [Bm]meaning of the [D]ritual, so ha[E7]bitual and cursed
[A] My love is [D]selfish,
How it [Bm]separa[A]tes the [Em]earth.
It takes [C#m]every shiny [C#m7]stone but leaves the [F#m]dirt,[F#m7]
for the [Bm]cowards in the [D]corner who just don[E7]'t know what they're worth
They've been [C#m]twisted by a [C#m7]hollow kind of [F#m]pain.[F#m7]
Oh I can [Bm]see it in their [D]eyes but I ig[E7]nore it every day, because
[A] my love is [D]selfish,
and it [Bm]remembers [A]every[Em]thing
Like the [C#m]first time it was [C#m7]moved enough to [F#m]sing[F#m7]
How it [Bm]dangled on that [D]stage just like a [E7]puppet on a string
