Verse 1
A E D E
All the things you said that you need
A E
All flew a- way from me
A E D E
And the places you go in your dreams
A E
Are al- l fantasies
Pre-Chorus 1
A E
The woman you love just stood up from her theater seat
D E
Con- fused and detained by all the tragedy
A E
The sounds and the images that she's just seen
D E
Up there on the movie screen all seem obscene
Chorus 1
A
The woman
A B C# D(V)
Who made up her mind has
A
For- gotten
E D
What she de- cided
A
And the lover
A B C# D(V)
Who comforts your nights has been
A D E
Dreaming up a better way to die
E (let ring to silence)
And the world plays out
In a blur of black and white

A E D E
You were drunk at the funeral a- gain
A E
Nobody recognized
A E D E
You were dreaming of grayscale vio- lins
A E
Her lips were colorized
Pre-Chorus 2
A E
The woman you love had a sweet taste on her tongue
D E
It was a drug, but you took it in when her song was sung
A E
She was a poet dissecting the parts of your sum
D E
And she introduced you to her opium
Chorus 3

The woman

She's nothing like the devil
That leaves you while you sleep
