[Intro]
C  D Em7 F


[Verse 1]
  G
I put the knife
in slowly
Through the
C
ribcage
        C7
to your heart
  D
I don't know how
   Em7
we got here
         C
But it's tearing
me apart
    G
You don't seem too
surprised, I guess
     C
That it's become
a chore
      D
Every Tuesday
       Em7
on the hour
          C
You don't feel
it anymore

[Chorus]
  D     Em7
I swear one of
         C
these days,
             G
it's gonna kill
 you
    C
And you will see
   G
it coming
        Am
But you will not
        D
run away
     D
I'll try to stop
    Em7
the bleeding
          C
with the hands
that
      G
crucified you
        C
Oh, the irony
       G
in that
will not be
Dsus4
lost on me,
    D
I'm afraid
     C
I'll promise that
  G               D
I never meant for it
 to end this way
D             Am
 I don't know why,
 but
      C
you'll forgive me
         G
And I'll take that
 to
  Em    F G G
my grave


[Post-Chorus]
C D C F

[Verse 2]
     G
Four years of
being unfair
      C
Still you don't
         C7
seem to mind
              D
You say you'd rather
        Em7
live unfairly
      C
If it keeps me in
 your life
       G
Are we in a
nineties' movie?
         C
Who just says that
          C7
with a straight face?
       D
Method acting like
    Em7
you love me
       C
Living constantly
       C
in pain


[Chorus]
  D      Em7
I swear one of
       C
these days,
             G
it's gonna kill you
     C
And you will see
    G
it coming
        Am
But you will not
        D
run away
     D
I'll look into
     Em7
your eyes
            C
and see you take it
          G
like it's nothing
  C
I know that I am
G
guilty,
            D
but you'll kiss
 me anyway
      C
I'll promise
that
   G
I never meant
    D
for it to end
this way
D             Am
 I don't know why,
but
      C
you'll forgive me
         G
And I'll take that to
   Em   F
my grave


[Post-Chorus]
F Em F Em F F Em F

[Outro]
  G
I put the knife
in slowly
Through the
C
ribcage
 to your heart
  D
I don't know how
    Em
 we got here
         C
But it's tearing
 me apart

How to play Method Acting – Method Acting: key, chords and progression

Method Acting – Method Acting by Lizzy Mcalpine keeps coming home to G major (one sharp: F♯). You need 9 chords: C, D, Em7, F, G, C7, Am, Dsus4 and Em.

Most of the song cycles through D – Em7 – C – G (V – vi7 – IV – I in G major), a rotation of the “four-chord” pop progression (I–V–vi–IV). In solfa, that is soh – lah – fah – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar almost every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
