VERSE:
A            D
  My love is selfish,
      Bm       A         Em
and I bet that your's is too.
C#m           C#m7                F#m      F#m7
What is this peculiar word called truth?

Bm        D          E7


A             D
   My love is selfish,
       Bm        A      Em
and it cares not who it hurts.
        C#m            C#m7        F#m         F#m7
It will cut you out to satisfy its thirst
        Bm             D            E7
For the meaning of the ritual, so habitual and cursed

A             D
   My love is selfish,
       Bm    A       Em
How it separates the earth.
         C#m         C#m7                 F#m         F#m7
It takes every shiny stone but leaves the dirt,
        Bm             D                  E7
for the cowards in the corner who just don't know what they're worth
             C#m          C#m7           F#m       F#m7
They've been twisted by a hollow kind of pain.
         Bm              D            E7
Oh I can see it in their eyes but I ignore it every day, because

A             D
   my love is selfish,
       Bm        A    Em
and it remembers everything
         C#m               C#m7            F#m           F#m7
Like the first time it was moved enough to sing
       Bm              D                 E7
