 [Intro]
D F#m D A
D F#m A D

[Verse 1]
D       F#m D
When you    laid
     A
like a wolf
D        F#m A
With your    head
    D
on my lap
D      F#m
I felt like one of
       D   A
those portraits
   D        F#m
Of women protected
      A          D
by a beast on a chain
D        F#m D A
They look    so safe
  D        F#m A
A guard dog    there
      D
 just for her
   D        F#m
If only she knew
         D           A
that with one wrong move
      D     F#m
He'll turn around
     A            D
and tear off her hands

[Pre-Chorus]
      D        C#m
And I wish you had
             G      D
given me the courtesy
   A
Of ripping out my throat
      A           C#m
And I wish that I let
              G       D
 you have the dignity
   A
Of letting me go

[Chorus]
D
 I break apart without
       Am
your arms
The smell of soap
             F
and petrol smarts
Let me feed you to
    D
my friends

Over and over again
A
 Let my last words
             C
be our last dance
I'd die for you no
          D
 questions asked
If anyone could kill me
                     D   C
It probably would be you

[Verse 2]
D       F#m D
He's got    letters
    A
 on his fist
D     F#m
R-I-D-E
  A              D
A triumph on his hips
D        F#m
He looks like one of those
D    A
 Film stars
       D           F#m
With a blow up doll
      A  D
And a BB gun

[Pre-Chorus]
      D          C#m
And I wish you had given
        G      D
me the courtesy
   A
Of staying one more night
      A           C#m
And I wish that I had
the goods
    G       D
The dignity
   A
To put up a fight

[Chorus]
D
 I break apart
              Am
without your arms
The smell of soap
            F
and petrol smarts
Let me feed you to
    D
my friends

Over and over again
A
 Let my last words
             C
be our last dance
I'd die for you no
           D
 questions asked

If anyone could kill me
                     D
It probably would be you

Don't have the strength
           Am
to pin me down
The time I wasted
          F
in your mouth
Waves that crash
             D
against your chest

Over and over again
A
 I'd kiss your eyes
               C
And frame your teeth
As you crawl back
         D
 to the sea
Oh, anyone could kill me
And I'd never ever
           D   Am F D
let it be you

[Outro]
