[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)
