[Intro]
Am Am/G# Am/G Am/F# Fmaj7    (x2)
 
[Verse 1]
     Am               Am/B
I've grown a mouth so sharp and cruel
     C                              Fmaj7
It's all that I can give to you, my dear
    Am                Am/B            C
And when you come in quick to steal a kiss
                            Fmaj7    E7
My teeth will only cut your lips, my dear
 
[Pre-chorus]
    F               G        C
And I know that you mean so well
    F          G               E7
But I am not a vessel for your good intent
 
[Chorus]
       Am              Am/G#    Am/G  Am/F#
I will only break your pretty things
       Am             Am/G#  Am/G  Am/F#
I will only wring you dry of everything
              Fmaj7
But if you're fine with that
           E7
You can be mine like that
 
[Instrumental]
Am Am/B Am/C  Fmaj7    (x2)
 
[Verse 2]
 Am              Am/B
Abandon all your stupid dreams
   C                                 Fmaj7
About the girl I could have been, my dear
       Am             Am/B               C
'Cause in the night I know you burn with feelings
                    Fmaj7
I cannot return, my dear
       E7
Oh, my dear
 
[Pre-chorus]
    F               G           C
You gotta know that this won't last
     F            G
Desperation will erase the fact
    E7
I'm keeping all
 
[Chorus]
       Am            Am/G#      Am/G  Am/F#
Of the answers in my cigarette box
          Am              Am/G#             Am/G        Am/F#
Yeah, the answer's in the second before the other shoe drops
              Fmaj7
And if you're blind to that
     E7
I am fine with that
 
[Instrumental]
Fmaj7    Am Am/G Am/F# Am/D (x2)
 
[Bridge]
Fmaj7           Am Am/G Am/F# Am/D
Oh, I will ruin you
Fmaj7           Am Am/G Am/F# Am/D
Oh, I will ruin you
      Fmaj7           E7
It's a habit - I can't help it
F               G        C
I know that you mean so well
    F          G               E7
But I am not a vessel for your good intent
 
[Chorus]
       Am              Am/G#    Am/G  Am/F#
I will only break your pretty things
       Am             Am/G#  Am/G  Am/F#
I will only wring you dry of everything
              Fmaj7
But if you're fine with that
         E7
If you're fine with that
       Am              Am/G#    Am/G  Am/F#
I will poison all your happy thoughts
       Am                Am/G#       Am/G       Am/F#
I will love you like the ashes in my cigarette box
              Fmaj7
And if you're fine with that
           E7
You can be mine
          Fmaj7
If you're fine with that
           E7
You can be mine
 
[Outro]
Am Am/B C  Fmaj7    (x3)

I NEVER LEFT THE DESERT 🗣🔥🔥💥💥 (iykyk) Tab doesn't sound completely right, but the chords listed on the comments sound better.
