[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
