[Intro]
G#  N.C.
 
[Verse]
D#m          C#           C#maj7
   The masquerader in the mirror
B             A#sus        A#
   Appears to be a total stranger to me
D#m           C#                     C#maj7
   He slips a film of glow through a glove on his hand
B              A#sus              A#
   And puts my features where his face ought to be
 
[Bridge]
E                    G#m
  Young flesh, young frame
E                C#m
  Slow pulse, no pain
 
[Verse]
D#m            C#                   C#maj7
   The face he fits is unmistakably mine
B            A#sus                A#
   Without a trace he leaves the scene of the crime
D#m          C#            C#maj7
   The story always reads exactly the same
B            A#sus           A#
   I need my live protection all the time
 
[Bridge]
E                    G#m
  Young flesh, young frame
E                C#m
  Slow pulse, no pain
 
[Chorus]
G#m
Inside my fit on skin   sometimes I wonder just where to begin
       E
I need action (action) action (action) action (action) action (action)
G#m
Inside my fit on skin    I make a novel of everything
          E
It's like (fiction) fiction (fiction) fiction (fiction) fiction (fiction)
C#                                          N.C.
Inside my fit on skin,   another side of my twin

   Without a trace he leaves the scene of the crime

   The story always reads exactly the same
B            A#sus           A#
