Ar ti fi cial ly (Em)sweet,
I was de ceived by the (C7)wrap ping.
Got caught in your (Em)web,
and I learned how to (C7)bleed.
I was prey in your (Em)bed,
and de voured com (C7)plete ly.
Oh, and it (Em)hurts my soul, ’cause I (G)can’t let go.
All these (Am)walls are cav ing in; I (Am)can’t (C)stop my suf fer ring.
I hate to show that I’ve lost con trol, ’cause I, I keep go ing right back (Am)to the (C)one thing that I need...

(I (Em)need to get a way from ya, need to walk a way from ya, (C7)get a way, walk a way, walk a way.) Now, I should have (Em)known
that I was used for a (C7)muse ment.
Could n’t see through the (Em)smoke;
it was all an il (C7)lu sion.
Now I’ve been (Em)lick ing my wounds,
but the ven om seeps (C7)deep er.
We both can se (Em)duce,

Oh, I’m a (Em)bout to break;
I can’t (G)stop this ache.
I’m ad (Am)dict ed to your al lure, and (Am)I’m (C)fiend in’ for a cure.
Ev ’ry step I take leads to one mis take.
I keep go ing right back (Am)to the (C)one thing that I need, (C)oh.
I can’t mend this torn (G)state I’m in, get ting (Am)noth ing in re turn.
What (Am)did (C)I do to de serve
the pain of this slow burn?
And ev ’ry where I turn I keep go ing right back (Am)to the (C)one thing that I need...
to (Em)walk a way from,

(I need to get a way from ya, need to walk a way from ya.) Ev ’ry time I try to grasp for air, I am smoth ered (B7)in de spair; it’s (B7)nev er (Em)o ver, o (B7)ver, (Em)uh, uh.
It seems I’ll nev er wake from this night mare; I let out a (B7)si lent prayer: “Let (B7)it be (Em)o ver, o (B7)ver,”
ooh.
In side, I’m scream ing, beg gin, plead ing: “No more!”
(Ah, Now, what to (Em)oh.) do?
My heart has been (C7)bruised.
So sad, but it’s (Em)true;
each beat re minds me of you.
Ooh, it (Em)hurts my soul, ’cause I (G)can’t let go.
All these (Am)walls are cav ing in; I (Am)can’t (C)stop my suf fer ring.
I hate to show that I’ve lost con trol, ’cause I, I keep go ing right back (Am)to the (C)one thing that I need, (C)oh.
I’m a bout to break, and (G)I can’t stop this ache.
I’m ad (Am)dict ed to your al lure, and (Am)I’m (C)fiend in’ for a cure.
Ev ’ry step I take leads to one mis take.
