🎸 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



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



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
