When The Flies Fell Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I see [F]the slashes [C]on your legs
And the smile on your face
[Am]again[C]
Blood is drying on your fingernails
Laughing at something that I said
[Em]Were you still sitting[C] 'hind the stairs
With the new boy in your
hair when I left?
You seem to recognize my face
But my hands feel like somebody
else's
[Em]

[Verse 2]
[F]
I blanked last [C]night when you told me
[Am]I blanked last nig[C]ht
when you [Em]told me twice
I [F]blanked [C]last night when you told me
[Am]I bl[Em]anked last night
when you told me twice

[Verse 3]
[Em]You [C]cut your hai[F]r off with[C] a blade
Didn't want a single trace,
that poor girl
[Am]The [C]water couldn't get you clean
So you burned your skin instead with the
curl (You live in your hell)
I watched an [F]angel cut the sky
[C]Feathers plucked from flight
[F](Just to torture yourself)
[C]And she sunk right through the ground
From colossal heights
(Tell me, what could I do?)
When she cried out for my name
I didn't hesitate (The moment
when the flies fell)
I screamed, "I cannot be your saint
I know you can[Em]'t b[C]e saved"

[Verse 4]
[F]I b[C]lanked last night when y[Am]ou told me
I blanked [Em]last night when you told [C]me [F]twice
I [C]blanked last night when you told me
[Am]I blanked last nig[Em]ht
when you told [C]me [F]twi—
I [C]blanked last night when you told me
[Am]I bl[C]anked last n[Am]ight
when [Em]you told [C]me t[Em]wice
I [F]blanked [C]last night when you told me[Am]
I [Em]blanked last night when you told me twice
