Verse:
 Am7      G        C    F
I thought that I've been hurt before
  Am7       G         C   F
But no one's ever left me quite this sore
 Am7       G       C   F

Now I need someone to breathe me back to life

Pre-chorus:
 F            G
Got a feeling that I'm going under

If I quit calling you my lover
Am7
Move on

Verse:
 Am7    G        C   F
Just like a moth drawn to a flame

Oh, you lured me in, I couldn't sense the pain
 Am7     G        C      F
Your bitter heart cold to the touch
        Am7     G
Now I'm gonna reap what I sow
        C      F
I'm left seeing red on my own

Pre-chorus:
 F            G
