These aren't the original chords - I came up with  this arrangement myself. Please credit me as well as the Amazing PemieC if you want to use them. Thanks :)

{Intro}
[C] [C][Cmaj7]

{Verse 1}
There's a [Dm]boy here lying [Dm]quiet in my [Am]shadow like a [Cmaj7]prayer
He [Dm]drips from every [Dm]angle into [Am]colours that I [Cmaj7]wear
He [Dm]wanders like a [Dm]saint on preda[Am]tory pilgri[Am]mage
With a [Dm]grimace and a [Dm]limp he puts his [Am]wrist against my [Am]cartilage

And [Dm]I could separate these bones
[Am]I could pack them into prose
[Dm]Or I could hold a cancer in my [Am]soul until it overflows
But [Dm]there is only boy and breath
[Am]Gentle hand prints on my chest
[Dm]Mouthing little darling, deepest, [Am]loveliest of sacrilege
This [Dm]boy of [Am]filth
He's [Dm]born of [Am]gods
He [Dm]clutches at my [Am]flaws
He [Dm]drags me from my [Am]holo[Cmaj7]caust
He [Dm]takes my [Am]limbs
He [Dm]wraps them around [Am]him
He [Dm]takes my shake, and [Am]takes my sick
And [Dm]feeds me bread, and [Am]then

{Chorus}
These [Dm]violent wall-eyed [Am]dreams that mite their [Dm]way into my [Am]fear of me and [Dm]mine
These wines and [Am]sugars in my [Dm]blood they mutter [Am]take your claws and [Dm]climb
The inch of [Am]every pale moon [Dm]love, you once swore [Am]you'd pay never[Dm]mind
When I am [Am]on the side of [Dm]you
I'd say my [Am]gods were always [D]ly[Am]ing [F] [Am]
[D]Ly[Am]ing...[F][F] [Am]

{Verse 2}
There's a [Dm]girl pacing [Dm]around me, prosely[Am]tizing para[Cmaj7]site
Her [Dm]sick acidic [Dm]logic ridi[Am]cules the ancient [Cmaj7]rite
And [Dm]when her teeth break [Dm]up on me like [Am]tiny cliffs of [Am]chalk
I [Dm]crash into her [Dm]canyon, lick the [Am]injuries she [Am]likes to mock

And [Dm]I could cut her down to size
It's [Am]half as hard as compromise
or [Dm]I could watch a blind sleepwalker [Am]creep all sweet, and none the wise
But [Dm]there is only girl and grin
[Am]Curling up under my skin
[Dm]Picture you and I forgetting [Am]why we let the other in
This [Dm]judge of [Am]what
She's [Dm]born of [Am]mud
She [Dm]answers to no [Am]blood
She [Dm]will not let me [Am]chew the [Cmaj7]cud
She [Dm]spits and [Am]swells
She [Dm]wears her wretched [Am]wells
She [Dm]holds my soul, and [Am]taxes tolls
And [Dm]takes it straight to [Am]hell

{Chorus}
These [Dm]violent wall-eyed [Am]dreams that mite their [Dm]way into my [Am]fear of me and [Dm]mine
These wines and [Am]sugars in my [Dm]blood they mutter [Am]take your claws and [Dm]climb
The inch of [Am]every rotten [Dm]hate, I once swore [Am]I'd pay never[Dm]mind
When I am [Am]on the side of [Dm]you
I'd say your [Am]law it must be [D]ly[Am]ing [F] [Am]
Your law was always [D]ly[Am]ing [F] [Am]
Oh my gods they must be [D]ly[Am]ing [F] [Am]
[D]Ly[Am]ing...[F][F] [Am]

{Outro}
[Cmaj7]
