Thanks to Christian Korbanka for this one, his tab was useful for the guitar solo and
the 6 and maj7 chords which I thought were just major.

Am C G Bb
If you gave me a fresh carnation, I would only crush it's tender petals,
Am C G Bb
With me here you'll have no escape, and at the same time there'd be nowhere to settle.

Gm /F# /F /E Eb6 D Bm
I trample down all life in my wake, I eat it up and take the cake,
E Am D Am
I just avert my eyes to the pain, of someone's loss helping my gain.

Am C G Bb
If you gave me a dream for my pocket, you'd be plugging in the wrong socket,
Am C G Bb
With me here there's no room for the future, with me here there's no room with a view at all.

Gm /F# /F /E Eb D Bm
I am out of season all year round, hear machinery roar to my empty sound,
E Am D Cm
Touch my heart and feel winter, hold my hand and be doomed forever.

(guitar solo)

Am C G Bb (x2)
(piano solo)

Am C G Bb
If you gave me a fresh carnation, I would only crush it's tender petals,
Am C G Bb
With me here you'll have no escape, and at the same time there'd be nowhere to settle.

Gm /F# /F /E Eb6 D Bm
And if you're wondering by now who I am, look no further than the mirror,
E Am D Cm
Because I am the greed and fear, and every ounce of hate in you.
