Verse 1
If you gave me a fresh carnation,
I would only crush its' tender petals,
With me you'll have no escape,
And, at the same time,
There'll be nowhere to settle,
I trample down all life in my wake,
I eat it up and take the cake,
I just a - vert my eyes to the pain,
Of someone's loss help - ing my gain
Verse 2
If you gave me a dream for my pocket,
You'd be plugging in the wrong socket,
With me, there's no room for the future,
With me, there's no room with a view at all
I am out of season all the year 'round,
The machinery roars to my empt - y sound,
Touch my heart and feel win - ter,
Hold my hand and be doomed for - ever

Verse 3
If you gave me a fresh carnation,
I would only crush its' tender petals,
With me you'll have no escape,
And, at the same time,
There'll be nowhere to settle,
If you're wonder - ing by now who I am,
Look no further than the mirror,
Because I am the greed and fear,
And every ounce of hate in you

=====================================================
For the GUITAR chord box diagrams to match my
suggested choices you need to manually select the
following choice of options by clicking on the
forward/backward arrows below ten of the diagrams
G E7sus4 Gm Asus4
<2 of 27> <2 of 34> <3 of 17> <2 of 21>
GmM7/F# Gm7/F
<2 of 12> <4 of 16>
Fmaj7b5 Gm6/E G6 Esus4
<7 of 19> <5 of 36> <9 of 42> <3 of 25>
The remaining chord boxes can be the default first
option and don't need any reselecting
