[Intro]
You’re killing people
No, I’m killing boys
Boys are just placeholders, they come and they go
You’re my best friend, and I wanna help you
But I won’t let you kill again
That’s a lose-lose

[Verse 1]
C#m
Told me pick my battles and be pickin’ ’em wise. But I wanna pick ’em all and I don’t wanna decide
A                                      F#m
No more, no more, anymore
C#m
So we’ll sneak in in the back and then we’ll kick in the door. Tell me, have you ever keyed a Ferrari before?
A F#m
Oh no, oh I don’t anymore

[Chorus]
C#m
And I’m not breakin’, I won’t take it
A
And I won’t ever feel this way again
F#m
‘Cause you don’t need me anymore, woah
C#m
And I won’t ever try again
A
And all I want in return is revenge
F#m
‘Cause I don’t need you anymore, woah
So where do you go?

[Verse 2]
C#m
Pull up to the drive and I remember the codes. Yeah, the only fuckin’ numbers you don’t hide in your phone
A                                  F#m
No more, no more, anymore
C#m
Climb up to the window and I’m breakin’ the glass
Then I stop, ’cause I don’t wanna Uma Thurman your ass
A                                  F#m
No more, no more, anymore
