(riff A)
 Very first second a screaming icon
(riff A)
 Babies in barely even recognize
(riff A)
 Words that once stroked now brusing tired lips

     Gm7               C
 My idea of love comes from
             Gm7               C
 A childhood glimps of pornography
              Gm7        C
 Though there is no true love
        G5                 C5
 Just a finely tuned jealousy


Chorus
                 F          Dsus4  Dm
 Life becoming a landslide
     Bb              C
 Ice freezing nature dead
                 F          Dsus4  Dm
 Life becoming a landslide
         Bb         C
 I don't wanna be a man


Verse 2

Riff B
  Every            day               more numb to    agony

(riff B)
 This the howl, this the sigh of the lonely
(riff B)
 One day I realise oil on canvas
(riff B)
 Can never paint a petal so so delicate
