[Intro]

 A#5    F#5    C#5   G#5

[Verse 1]
F#maj7
 Shovel in my right hand,
                   C#
 I'm digging you a grave
That you I thought I knew
                           A#m
is getting buried at the stake
You broke me into two,
 G#6
 who broke you?
And to think that I would've
 F#5
gave up my whole life
                     C#5
For a girl who never made
 love, just lies
                     A#5
All she ever does is take blood
                         G#5
And I tried (I tried) to give
 all that I had inside

[Pre-Chorus]
         A#5
'Cause I used, used
            F#5
 to be your bitch
                   C#5
I grant your every wish
             G#5
but you can count on this

[Chorus]
A#5                F#5
 I wouldn't give a fck
                C#5
if you dropped dead
        G#5
Light a match,
                A#5
throw it on our bed
                   F#5
I wouldn't go back with
             C#5
 a gun to my head
           G#5            A#5
You spun a web of lies in sex
        F#5               C#5
One day you'll be looking back
       F5                 A#5
And realize you fcked up bad
                  F#5
I wouldn't give a fck
                 C#5
 if you dropped dead
              G#5
You're just a name
that I'll forget

[Verse 2]
F#maj7
 Right now your gettin'
 shit faced
              C#
Going back to his place,
 tell him I'm a mistake
                 A#m
Tell me how his spit tastes
 and the worst part
 is I believed you
    G#6
Now I see through for all
                         F#5
 of the times that you sketch me
                             C#5
And text me pictures in your bed
 sheets and blessed me
                           A#5
Never thought you would've left
 me and kept me (Kept me)
G#5
Cold in the dark and alone

[Pre-Chorus]
         A#5
'Cause I used, used
            F#5
to be your btch

One day you'll be looking back
       F5                 A#5
And realize you fcked up bad
                  F#5
I wouldn't give a fck
                 C#5
 if you dropped dead
              G#5
You're just a name
that I'll forget


[Bridge]
A#5          F#5
 I read your letter,
              C#5
fell back in love
           G#5
Things get better,
             A#5
 you gain my trust
         F#5             C#5
I wish I let her call me up
(Well, what do you think
       G#5
 Andy? No, fck that)

[Chorus]
A#5                F#5
 I wouldn't give a fck
                C#5
if you dropped dead
        G#5
Light a match,
                A#5
throw it on our bed
                   F#5
I wouldn't go back with
             C#5
 a gun to my head
           G#5            A#5
You spun a web of lies in sex
        F#5               C#5
One day you'll be looking back
       F5                 A#5
And realize you fcked up bad
                  F#5
I wouldn't give a fck
                 C#5
 if you dropped dead
              G#5
You're just a name
that I'll forget
