[Intro 1]
[Em][B][Am][C][Em][B][Am]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Her mother
said that [E]she couldn't [Em]love
[E]The phy[Em]sical[B] way a
woman [Em]should
Then where else could she go?
Where the sisters [C]and the fathers
can't save her soul

[Verse 2]
[Em]Send them [E]in, see them on
She can't find a lover,
she'll fash[B]ion [Em]one
Imaginary men
Like the burned out poets

[Verse 3]
in the hinterland
[Em]The phoenix says,
[E]The dev[B]il says,
[E]The ser[Em]pent say[Am]s,
[C]The siren says,
[Em]Why use the word,
when the word means the beast?

[Interlude 1]
Why use the word, when the word means the beast?
[Em][E][B][Em]
[Am][C][Am][C][Am][Em][B]
[Em][Am][C][Em][E][Em]

[Verse 4]
The [Em]hourglass [E]see[Em]s what she[E]lf lif[Em]e does
[E]She asked, exa[B]ctly tel[Em]l me
[B]"What is [Am]love but grieving life alone?"
Just the [C]words from prophets
and religious [Em]shows

[Verse 5]
[Em]Imagine hurt, imagine tears
[E]She opened up [B]until she
disappeared
[Am]Vanished, hand in hand,
With all the [C]long-lost children children
locked in Neverland

[Verse 6]
[Em]The phoenix [E]says,
The [B]devil says,
The [Am]serpent says,
The [C]siren says,
[Em]Why use the word,
when the word means the beast?
Why use the word,

[Verse 7]
when the word means the beast?
[Em]The phoenix says
[E]The devil [B]says
[Em]The serp[Am]ent says
[C]The siren [Em]says[C]
[Em]Oh,

[Verse 8]
the phoenix says
Burn for me
The Devil [B]says[Em]
Lie for me
The serpent [Am]says[Em][Am]
Beg for me
[C]The siren says
Die for me

[Verse 9]
Oh, the [Em]phoenix says
Burn for me
The [B]Devil says
Lie for me
The ser[Am]pent says
Beg for me
The [C]siren says

[Outro 1]
Die for me
[Em]
