      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



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

Final A  C  D
      D  Am  F  D
      A  C  D
      D  Am  F  D
      A  C  D
