[Verse 1]
C                                 Em
“I don’t love you anymore”
Am                             F
A pretty line that I adore
C               Em               Am               F
Five words that I’ve heard before
C                             Em
‘Cause you keep me on a rope
Am                             F
And tied a noose around my throat
C               Em               Am               F
You’re gone then back at my door

[Pre-Chorus]
C                                                                     Em
‘Cause if you’re gonna leave, better leave, better do it fast
Am                                                         F
Can’t live a little longer sitting on your lap
C                                                         Em
‘Cause you know what you’re doin’ when you’re comin’ back
Am                                                                       F
And I don’t wanna have another heart attack

[Chorus]
Oh, I can’t be your lover on a leash
Am                                           F
Every other week, when you please
C               Em               Am               F       C
Oh, I can’t be the kiss that you don’t need
Em                             Am
The lie between your teeth

[Post-Chorus]
F                             C
The cut that always bleeds
Em               Am
(Ah-ah-ah)
F                             C
The cut that always bleeds
Em Am F
(Ah-ah-ah)

[Verse 2]
C                                           Em
Say you love somebody new
Am                             F
Then beat my heart to black and blue
C                             Em               Am                             F
Then they leave, and it’s me you come back to (Ah-ah)
C                                           Em
To say you loved me all along
Am                                           F
And kiss the bruises ’til they’re gone
C                         Em                           Am                             F
Bittersweet, ’cause I can’t breathe inside your arms

[Pre-Chorus]
C                                           Em
‘Cause if you’re gonna leave, better leave, better do it fast
Am                                           F
Can’t live another minute bleedin’ from my back
C                             Em
‘Cause I don’t have another one for you to stab
Am                                                         F
And I don’t wanna have another heart attack

[Chorus]
Oh, I can’t be your lover on a leash
Am                                           F
Every other week, when you please
C               Em               Am               F       C
Oh, I can’t be the kiss that you don’t need
Em                             Am
The lie between your teeth

[Post-Chorus]
F               C
The cut that always bleeds
Em                             Am
(Ah-ah-ah)
F                             C
The cut that always bleeds
Em Am F
(Ah-ah-ah)

[Bridge]
C                      Em                           Am                           F
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) But even though you’re killing me, yeah
C               Em                             Am               F
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) I need you like the air I breathe
C                             Em
I need, I need you more than me
Am                                           F
I need you more than anything
C Em Am F
Please, please

[Outro]
C
‘Cause I could be your lover on a leash
Em                             Am               F
Every other week, when you please
C      Em               Am               F        C
Oh, I could be anything you need
Em                             Am
As long as you don’t leave
F
The cut that always
