Portrait Of A Dead Girl

	  		Intro D  F#m  D  A 
      D  F#m  A  D 

Verse 1:

D       F#m D         A 
When you    laid like a wolf 
D        F#m A       D 
With your    head on my lap 
D      F#m              D   A 
I felt like one of those portraits 
   D        F#m         A          D 
Of women protected by a beast on a chain 
D        F#m D A 
They look    so safe 
  D        F#m A          D 
A guard dog    there just for her 
   D        F#m          D           A 
If only she knew that with one wrong move 
      D     F#m       A            D 
He'll turn around and tear off her hands 

Pre-Chorus

      D        C#m              G      D 
And i wish you had given me the courtesy 
   A 
Of ripping out my throat 
      A           C#m              G       D 
And i wish that i let you have the dignity 
   A 
Of letting me go 



D                           Am 
 I break apart without your arms 
                             F 
The smell of soap and petrol smarts 
                      D 
Let me feed you to my friends 

Over and over again 
A                              C 
 Let my last words be our last dance 
                             D 
I'd die for you no questions asked 

If anyone could kill me 
                     D   C 
It probably would be you 

Verse 2:

D       F#m D          A 
He's got    letters on his fist 
D     F#m 
R-i-d-e 
  A              D 
A triumph on his hips 
D        F#m 
He looks like one of those 
D    A 
 Film stars 
       D           F#m 
With a blow up doll 
      A  D 
And a bb gun 

Pre-Chorus

      D          C#m            G      D 
And i wish you had given me the courtesy 
   A 
Of staying one more night 
      A           C#m 
And i wish that i had the goods 
    G       D 
The dignity 
   A 
To put up a fight 



D                           Am 
 I break apart without your arms 
                             F 
The smell of soap and petrol smarts 
                      D 
Let me feed you to my friends 

Over and over again 
A                              C 
 Let my last words be our last dance 
                             D 
I'd die for you no questions asked 

If anyone could kill me 
                     D 
It probably would be you 
                                  Am 
Don't have the strength to pin me down 
                          F 
The time i wasted in your mouth 
                              D 
Waves that crash against your chest 

Over and over again 
A 
 I'd kiss your eyes 
               C 
And frame your teeth 
                         D 
As you crawl back to the sea 

Oh, anyone could kill me 
                             D   Am  F  D 
And i'd never ever let it be you
