[Intro]
A    G#m    C#m    C#sus2  C#m

[Verse 1]
              A
She told me, "Open your mouth,"
she said, "I got a surprise"
         G#m
And so I opened it wide and
then she crawled inside
             C#m
She's on the tip of my tongue,
she's on the top of my thighs
         C#sus2
And if I searched a thousand miles,
       C#m
I'd be dyin' to find

[Pre-Chorus]
A
Between my fingers, she leaves,
then she lingers
   G#m
If she's gonna go, well,
then I'm goin' with her
C#m           C#sus2   C#m
I know that I won't forget

[Chorus]
                   A
She was sweet like honey
                           G#m
And all I can taste is the blood
in my mouth
                          C#m
And the bitterness in goodbye
Drippin' like honey
         C#sus2
Down the back of my throat and
       C#m
on the front of my mind
          A
And well, she's impatient
and I'm complacent
     G#m
With just a little
                 C#m
taste of wastin' time
Lookin' for honey
          C#sus2
Well, she stings like she means it,
      C#m
she's mean and she's mine

[Verse 2]
A
Cuttin' about,
without a reason or rhyme
              G#m
And now she's dancin' on a table
and she spins on a dime
          C#m
But she's hell in a basket,
just makin' a racket
  C#m
I love every second,
it's fuckin' fantastic

[Pre-Chorus]
A                  G#m
Good things aren't easy to get
C#m           C#sus2  C#m
I know that I won't regret

[Chorus]
                   A
She was sweet like honey
                           G#m
And all I can taste is the blood
in my mouth
                          C#m
And the bitterness in goodbye
Drippin' like honey
         C#sus2
Down the back of my throat and
       C#m
on the front of my mind
          A
And well, she's impatient
and I'm complacent
     G#m
With just a little
                 C#m
taste of wastin' time
Lookin' for honey
          C#sus2
Well, she stings like she means it,
      C#m
she's mean and she's mine
A    G#m    C#m
