   F#m
Her mother said that she couldn't love 
    C#
The physical way a woman should 
    Bm
Then where else could she go? 
          D
Where the sisters and the fathers can't save her soul 

F#m
Send them in, see them on 
    C#
She can't find a lover, she'll fashion one 
  Bm
Imaginary men 
         D
Like the burned out poets in the hinterland 

    F#m
The phoenix says, 
    C#
The devil says, 
    Bm
The serpent says, 
    D
The siren says, 

(F#m continuously)
Why use the word, when the word it means to believe?
Why use the word, when the word it means to believe?

Why...

(Continue chord pattern as before)

The hourglass sees what shelf life does 
She asked, exactly tell me
"what is love but grieving life alone?"
Just the words from prophets and religious shows 

Imagine hurt, imagine tears 
She opened up until she disappeared 
Vanished, hand in hand, 
With all the long-lost children locked in Neverland 

The phoenix says, 
The devil says, 
The serpent says, 
The siren says, 
Why use the word, when the word it means to believe?
Why use the word, when the word it means to believe?

The phoenix says
The devil says
The serpent says
The siren says

        F#m
Oh, the phoenix says
- Burn for me
    C#
The devil says
- Lie for me
    Bm
The serpent says
- Beg for me
    D
The siren says
- Die for me

Oh, the phoenix says
- Burn for me
The devil says
- Lie for me
The serpent says
- Beg for me
The siren says
- Die for me
