[Intro]
D F#m D A
D F#m A D
[Verse 1]
D F#m D A
When you laid like a wolf
D F#m A D
With your head on my lap
D F#m D A
I felt like one of those portraits
D F#m A D
Of women protected by a beast on a chain
D F#m D A
They look so safe
D F#m A D
A guard dog there just for her
D F#m D A
If only she knew that with one wrong move
D F#m A D
He'll turn around and tear off her hands
[Pre-Chorus]
D C#m G D
And I wish you had given me the courtesy
A
Of ripping out my throat
A C#m G D
And I wish that I let you have the dignity
A
Of letting me go
[Chorus]
D Am
I break apart without your arms
F
The smell of soap and petrol smarts
D
Let me feed you to my friends
Over and over again
A C
Let my last words be our last dance
D
I'd die for you no questions asked
If anyone could kill me
D C
It probably would be you
[Verse 2]
D F#m D A
He's got letters on his fist
D F#m
R-I-D-E
A D
A triumph on his hips
D F#m
He looks like one of those
D A
Film stars
D F#m
With a blow up doll
A D
And a BB gun
[Pre-Chorus]
D C#m G D
And I wish you had given me the courtesy
A
Of staying one more night
A C#m
And I wish that I had the goods
G D
The dignity
A
To put up a fight
[Chorus]
D Am
I break apart without your arms
F
The smell of soap and petrol smarts
D
Let me feed you to my friends
Over and over again
A C
Let my last words be our last dance
D
I'd die for you no questions asked
If anyone could kill me
D
It probably would be you
Am
Don't have the strength to pin me down
F
The time I wasted in your mouth
D
Waves that crash against your chest
Over and over again
A
I'd kiss your eyes
C
And frame your teeth
D
As you crawl back to the sea
Oh, anyone could kill me
D Am F D
And I'd never ever let it be you
[Outro]
A C D
D Am F D
