I used a piano to play along with the song and came up with these :)
Hope they work for you!
 
**NOTE: using the barre chords sounds a lot better, but
do what's easiest for you!
 
[Intro] Em
 
[Verse 1]
 
Em               D                A
  Stitched you up, put you together
                   A
With cotton and feather
Em             D                     A
  Gave you love, put my heart inside you
                A
Oh what could I do
         Em
When you started talking in your sleep
D
Saying things you'd do to me
A
I didn't care
 
I wasn't scared
        Em
Now I'm finding knives under the sheets
D
Crumbled photographs of me
A
I'm in despair
 
Should I be scared?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                      A
Teddy bear, you are my teddy bear
         Bm
You were comforting and quiet
                       A
How did love become so violent?
    G                       A
Oh, teddy bear, you were my teddy bear
Bm                                         A
Everything was so sweet until you tried to kill me
 
 
Break: G  A  Bm  A (2x)
       Em
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em               D                 A
  I threw you out, I didn't outgrow you
                A
I just didn't know you
Em                   D
  But now you're back
                   A
And it's so terrifying how you paralyze me
        Em
Now you showing up inside my home
D
Breathing deep into the phone
    A
I'm so unprepared
 
I'm fucking scared
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                      A
Teddy bear, you are my teddy bear
         Bm
You were comforting and quiet
                       A
How did love become so violent?
    G                       A
Oh, teddy bear, you were my teddy bear
Bm                                         A
Everything was so sweet until you tried to kill me
 
 
[Break] G  A  Bm  A (2x)
        Em
A
I'm fucking scared
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                      A
Teddy bear, you are my teddy bear
         Bm
You were comforting and quiet
                       A
How did love become so violent?
    G                       A
Oh, teddy bear, you were my teddy bear
Bm                                         A
Everything was so sweet until you tried to kill me
 
 
[Break] G  A  Bm  A (2x)
        Em

What's the strumming pattern?

sydney.plz
if you transpose the song down -2 (and play with or without a capo on two) the Bm becomes an Am. Verse- Dm C G Chorus- F G Am G
+3
