Intro: Ebm--





Verse 1:

Ebm                          G#m

  Love, bring me the head of jealousy 

                               Ebm

His curse is the poison on her lips 

                       G#m

A love as certain as a sinking ship

Unstoppable





Refrain 1:

B            G#m

This isn't a dream

                 Ebm Bb

this is what you are 

    B             G#m

And I'll take the blame

                         Bb

but that won't heal your scars 





Chorus 1:

Ebm

Look look a little 

B                    F#

closer and then shut off 

              Bbm

You should've known

              B

this wasn't a truce

                 G#m

Keep taking your cheap shots

Until I'm black and blue





Verse 2:

Ebm

  You should have known better 

        G#m

than to change your mind

                               Ebm

Your tears won't tame your misery

They're the ones that

                  G#m

say your heart is just a beat

Your just keeping time





Refrain 2:

B            G#m

This isn't a game who

                 Ebm Bb

do you think you are? 

    B             G#m

And I'll take the blame but

                    Bb

that won't heal your scars 





Chorus 2:

Ebm

Look look a little 

B                    F#

closer and then shut off 

              Bbm

You should've known

              B

this wasn't a truce

                 G#m

Keep taking your cheap shots

                    Bb-- x8

Until I'm black and blue

Until I'm black and blue
