This tab is for the guitar version on youtube; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5eTv-MB9ow
It is not for the version that pops up when you click on "listen" below. I have no control over that aspect
unfortunately. Apologies for any confusion/difficulties this causes..
 
[Intro]
C   G   (x2)
 
         C
Sometimes I think I'm a killer
 
  Em
I scared you in your house
     C
Even scared myself by talkin'
       Em
About Dahmer on your couch
           C
But I can't sleep next to a body
     Em
Even harmless in death
         C
plus I'm pretty sure I'd miss you
           Em                     G
and faking sleep to count your breath
 
        Dm        Am
Can the killer in me
         Dsus2/F#        F
Tame the fire in you
                          C        G
Is there nothing left to do for us
 
      Dm          Am
I am sick of the chase
       Dsus2/F#     F
but I'm hungry for blood
                F        Fm
and there's nothing I can do
 
C   G   (x2)
 
    C
But when I'm sick and tired
       Em
when my mind is barely there
      C
when a machine keeps me alive
        Em
and I'm losing all my hair
                F                              C
I hope you'll kiss my rotten head and pull the plug
              F                           C        G
know that I've burned every playlist and given it all my love
 
        Dm        Am
Can the killer in me
        Dsus2/F#        F
Tame the fire.....in you
                         C             G
I know there's something waiting for us
       Dm        Am
I am sick of the chase
       Dsus2/F#     F
But I'm stupid in love
             C
              F     Fm
And there's nothing I can do
              F     Fm
And there's nothing I can do

One big suggestion: that G chord is G7, not Gmaj7. G chord with an F, first fret, on the first string. A more minor note, the F chord seems to be voiced with that high G (3rd fret, 1st string). Basically an Fsus2 but with the sus2 in the upper voice. Also, easy to hear, but the C chord usually has the first finger doing a pull off on the second string from 1st fret to open. Sometimes the G chord has a hammer on that very same string and fret as well. Just listen for it and play around with it to see where the flourishes fit. She isn't consistent with it so don't feel like you have to be.

Great job! Although I did notice that each of the places where you have a D chord sound way better with a C chord. Try it out!
