(Verse 1)
"I don't [C] love you [Em] anymore"
A pretty [Am] line that I [F] adore
Five [C] words that I've [Em] heard [Am] before [F]
'Cause you [C] keep me on a [Em] rope
And tied a [Am] noose around my [F] throat
You're [C] gone, then [Em] back at my [Am] door [F] .
(Pre-Chorus)
'Cause if you're gonna [C] leave,
better leave, better do [Em] it fast
Can't [Am] live a little longer,
sitting [F] on your lap
'Cause [C] you know what you're doing
when you're [Em] coming back
And [Am] I don't want to have another [F] heart attack.
(Chorus)
Oh, [C] I [Em] can't [Am] be
[F] your lover on a [C] leash
[Em] Every other [Am] week when you please [F]
Oh, [C] I [Em] can't [Am] be
the [F] kiss that you don't [C] need
The [Em] lie between your [Am] teeth
(Post-Chorus)
The [F] cut that always [C] bleeds [Em] [Am]
The [F] cut that always [C] bleeds
[Em] Ah - Ah - [Am] Ah. [F]
(Verse 2)
Say you [C] love somebody [Em] new
then beat my [Am] heart to black and [F] blue
Then they [C] leave, and it's [Em] me you come [Am] back to [F]
To say you [C] loved me all [Em] along
and kissed the [Am] bruises 'til they're [F] gone
Bitter [C] sweet, 'cause I can't [Em] breathe
inside your [Am] arms. [F]
(Pre-Chorus)
'Cause if you're gonna [C] leave,
better leave, better do [Em] it fast
Can't [Am] live a minute bleeding [F] from my back
'Cause [C] I don't have another one for you to [Em] stab
And [Am] I don't want to have another [F] heart attack.
(Chorus)
Oh, [C] I [Em] can't [Am] be [F] your lover on a [C] leash
[Em] Every other [Am] week when you please
Oh, [C] I [Em] can't [Am] be the [F] kiss that you don't [C] need
The [Em] lie between your [Am] teeth
(Post-Chorus)
The [F] cut that always [C] bleeds [Em] [Am]
The [F] cut that always [C] bleeds
[Em] Ah - Ah - [Am] Ah. [F]
(Bridge)
[C] Ooh [Em] Ooh But [Am] even though you're [F] killing me
[C] I... [Em] I...- I, I [Am] need you like the [F] air I breathe
I [C] need, I need you [Em] more than me
I [Am] need you more than [F] anything
[C] Plea [Em] se, [Am] plea[F] se.
(Outro)
'Cause [C] I [Em] could [Am] be your [F] lover on a [C] leash
[Em] Every other [Am] week when you [F] please
Oh, [C] I [Em] could [Am] be [F] anything you need [C]
As [Em] long as you don't [Am] leave
The [F] cut that always...
