The song is in the key of C#m although I suspect that it might be easier
to play with a capo on 2 and using Bm etc shapes. The song is in 6/8 time.
I've mostly only put chords but there are a few lines marked with
asterisks that have TAB tips at the end of the file.
VERSE 1:
C#m AIt's hiding in the corner
C#m Aof every sacred place
before the ambush you won't want to
E A E E/B Arecognise its face
C#m AIt slithers like a viper
readies its attack
C#m A Btears your flesh and soul apart then
E A E E/B Aclings on to your back
not till it turns away can you
C#m C#m/Bfeel the pain of all the damage done
A G#7/C C#mand you may notice that this quick opiate
might wear the wings of angels
G#7/C C#m E A B Ethat's when you realise you've been shot down
F#m E/G# A F#m E Bwounded unto death by something called
love (____________instrumental__________________)
VERSE 2:
C#m F#mIt followed you to hell, Ange
a double-agent who
C#m A Bwill listen to your every lie
E Aand never tell on you
just whisper to you true
C#m A7promises you silk things
C#m Abut burns the clothes you wear
gives you leave in heaven
E Aand you scream that it's unfair
E Ato force you to compare
but not till it turns away
C#mcan you feel the pain of
C#m/Ball the damage done
and you may notice that
C#mthis quick opiate
C#m/B Amight wear the wings of angels
that's when you realise you've been shot down
F#m E/G# A F#m E B C#mwounded unto death by something called love
C#m C#m E A B Eyou've been shot down
wounded unto death by something called love...

I play G#7/C as E 4 -- one of the reasons why I think a capo might help!
