Gentlemen

 
Cm 
He reads your fears like letters in the mail, 
Fm 
Knows just which ones will always fail. 
D#                     G 
To him you are unique as he steals every word that you speak. 
Cm 
He offers warmth like fire in the snow, 
Fm 
But lets it burn too fast too low. 
D#                                       G 
You think youre safe within his quiet flame, 
But now you're cold and without a name. 
Cm 
He paints his past in shades 
     Fm 
of smoke and blue, 
        D#                     G 
With stories sweet but never quite the truth. 
Cm                         Fm 
You trace his words like maps across the sea, 
      D#              G 
But every route was drawn to lose the key. 
 

 
              Cm 
Cause were gentlemen 
G 
We lie and deceive 
      G# 
But well hold the door 
G 
When its time to leave 
          Cm 
Were gentlemen 
G 
We only have greed 
      G# 
Well talk to you 
            G 
when its time to feed 
     Cm                                 G 
We tell you that youre pretty and we tell you that youre cute 
      G#                       G 
But truth is we may just be a demon in a suit 
Cm                                 G 
We speak in gentle voices and we laugh at all your jokes 
         G#                                 G 
But underneath the charm, were just some well-dressed hungry ghost 
                 C 
Cause were gentlemen!

    Cm 
He holds your trust like whiskey in a glass, 
              Fm 
Lets time go slow, then watches it all pass. 
      D# 
You speak in truths; about what you miss 
      G 
And turns your silence into his abyss. 
     Cm 
He offers truth in riddles wrapped in lace, 
       Fm 
Then dares you not to lose the race. 
       D#                     G 
You chase the meaning in his eyes 
Goodbye
