[Strophe]
Em 
Open your hands and show me what your holding. 
A7 
Is it an emerald, or is it a pearl? 
C 
What other information are you beholding? 
G 
You're such a funny girl. 
Em 
Where is your mother, where did she came from? 
A7 
Was your father a sailor or a thief? 
C 
Who was your brothers, where did they came from? 
G 
I'd wish you'd tell me about them at least. 
Em  
But you're so silent, you're so gentle. 
A7 
I think my brain will go. 
C 
This town's your town, yeah, this room's your temple. 
G 
And now you know what I have to go.

That's what it takes to love you. 
                        C 
That's what it takes to love you too. 
                        G 
That's what it takes to hate you too. 
  
So I'll just wanna go.

Don't give me words whit no meanings.

This is the way this is the violence.
