[Verse 1]
Em
   I would drown
                Em
in your holy water
   Got a taste,
                 Bm
now I'm going under
   And let the world
            Bm
just fade away
Em
   Treat me bad like
                   Em
I'm no one's daughter
   Body bag,
              Bm
 baby I'm a goner
   And let it all
            Bm
just fade away

[Pre-Chorus]
                 Em
   Just put your hands
around my throat
                 G
   Ain't been to heaven
 but I'm close
                  Bm
   Your love is a murder
                  A
   Your love is a murder
                Em
   I'll let you touch
 me sweet and slow
                G
   Just take my body
 and my soul

   Your love is a murder

   In the dirt 'til I'm
                        A
pushing up daisies, oh-oh
             Em
   You got a dark side
and it don't phase me
         G
   Cover me up, baby,
just lay me
          Bm
   In the dirt 'til
 I'm pushing up daisies,
    A
 oh-oh
                  Em
   Your love is a murder

[Verse 2]
   Like a virgin,
        Em
 a Madonna (Madonna)
   On my knees praying
         Bm
for a hunter
   You got a wild
               Bm
heart in your cage
Em
   Little death but
           Em
 I want another
                      Bm
   And another and another

   I want it bad and I got
    Bm
 no shame (I got no shame)

[Pre-Chorus]
                 Em
   Just put your hands
around my throat
                 G
   Ain't been to heaven
but I'm close
                  Bm
   Your love is a murder
                  A
   Your love is a murder
                Em
   I'll let you touch
me sweet and slow
                G
   Just take my body
and my soul
                  Bm
   Your love is a murder
                  A
   Your love is a murder
