The song comes in with organ, but it's then joined by acoustic guitar. I'm just
going to call the C#aug7(w5) the C#aug7 from here on in:
Intro: A D
A D
AMy love isD selfish
And I Bmbet that Ayours is Emtoo
C#7What is this C#aug7peculiar C#7word called F#mtruth F#m7
Bm D/A D/Ab
AMy love is Dselfish
And it Bmcares not Awho it Emhurts
C#7It will cut you out tC#aug7o satisfC#7y its tF#mhirst F#m7
For the Bmmeaning of a D/Aritual so D/Abhabitual and cursed
AMy love is Dselfish
How it BmseparaAtes the Emearth
It takes C#7every shinyC#aug7 stone buC#7t leaves the F#mdirt F#m7
For the Bmcowards in the D/Acorner who just D/Abdon't know what they're worth
They've been C#7twisted by aC#aug7 hollowC#7 kind of F#mpain F#m7
Oh I can Bmsee it in their D/Aeyes but I D/Abignore it every day, coz
AMy love is Dselfish
And Bmremembers AeveryEmthing
Like the C#7first time it wasC#aug7 moved C#7enough to F#msing F#m7
How it Bmdangled on that D/Astage just like a D/Abpuppet on a string
