[Intro]
A G D

[Verse 1]
A        G               D
I was asleep for a year
A            G                 D
But then you came and woke me up
A          G                D
You tell me what I wanna hear
D
I bought it
A         G                   D
Pour me a glass and I'll get drunk

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A                 G           D
But I'm getting sober and I heard
some things about you, babe
D
You're getting good at alibis
A                  G             D
So I'll let you over but I'll stand
right by the fire escape
D
'Cause I bet you're
sharpening your knife

[Chorus]
A                    G          D
What's your calling card, killer?
A              G              D
Sell me pretty lies with your silver
tongue
A               G       D
Got me in your jean pocket
A                   G
Something's telling me
            D
I'm not the only one

A      G                D
Sophie said to call the cops
A               G
You shaved your head and
          D
bought a fake ID
A         G                   D
I hear a scream from down the block
A              G
Bloodstains in places
            D
where they shouldn't be

[Pre-Chorus 2]
A     G
I got a problem
      D
I'm hooked on you like nicotine
D
I couldn't quit you if I tried
A             G
Where you go I follow
             D
So I let you lead me
to the murder scene
D
And I know you're sharpening your-
N.C.
I know you're sharpening your-

your silver tongue
A               G        D
Got me in your jean pocket

Oh, something's telling me

I'm not the only one
