 Title: Bleed For The Artist
 
 C#                                      
 Ninety-nine rooms in the Pharaoh's tombs
 
          E                  
 He was young and hungry king
 
     C#                                                 
 He spent a lot of time in his room, staring at the moon
 
          E                               
 And he loved to hear the young girls sing
 
                  C#                 
 Remember as you bleed for the artist
 
                          E  
 He only goes the hardest way
 
             C#                        
 And as you plead for him to start this
 
                             E               
 You live to hear the artist say: I love you!
 
               C#                                    
 So let the criticism start and blow that poison dart
 
       E             
 You never disrespect
 
                    C# 
 The artist or his art
 
 It's such a tender heart
 
      E                      
 The one that creates the art
 
 C# E 
   
 C#                                          
 Sixty-nine dudes just to get you in the mood
 
              E                         
 I got some issues with your style, girl
 
        C#                                       
 If my desires do intrude this pleasant interlude
 
                E                            
 I'll probably stay here a little while, girl
 
               C#                
 And now you bleed for the artist
 
                              E          
 Though it might not be the smartest play
 
             C#                   
 And as you try to tear apart this
 
                           E                 
 You live to hear the artist say: I love you!
 
              C#                                   
 So let the nihilism start and read a little Sartre
 
       E                                   
 You never disrespect the artist or his art
 
              C#                                     
 It's such a wild heart - the one that bleeds the art
 
 E                                                                     C# 
 Descend these scales of hollow chorus dressed girls of angels on my heart
 
 E                                                                     C# 
 Statues of males and Christs adorn, but begs the question "Is this art?"
 
 C#                       
 Hey, bleed for the artist
 
                           E 
 He only goes the hardest way
 
              C#                       
 And as you plead for him to start this
 
                              E                
 You live to hear the artist say: That's right!
 
                C#              
 So throw your items in the cart
 
      E                 
 And burn the Super Mart
 
          C#           A 
 You can never separate
 
                       Ab 
 The artist from the art
 
                  E           
 What finally stopped my heart
 
            C#  
 Where to start?
 Where to start?
 Where to start?
 
 E                             C#               
 We are the young and hungry patrons of the arts
 
 E                            C#                
 We are the young and hungry patrons of the arts
 
 E                            
 What finally stopped my heart
 
        C#                    
 What finally stopped my heart
 
 Goo, goo, goo, goo, goo, goo
 
 (Spoken:) I thought...is that the end of the song?
