Verse 1:
          G           D
"I don't love you anymore"
          Em             C
a pretty line that I adore
     G               D       Em     Esus4
Five words that I've heard before
            G            D
'Cause you keep me on a rope
             Em               C
And tied a noose around my throat
        G             D      Em     Esus4
You're gone then back at my door
 
 
Pre-Chorus:
                 G                                 Bm

Can't live a little longer sitting on your lap
       G                                      Bm
'Cause you know what you're doin' when you're comin' back
    Em                         C
And I don't wanna have another heart attack

Oh, I can't be the kiss that you don't need

The lie between your teeth

Verse 2:
        G             Bm
Say you love somebody new

Then beat my heart to black and blue
          G               Bm           Em       C
Then they leave, and it's me you come back to -Ah-ah-

To say you loved me all along

      G                     Bm                   Em       C
Bittersweet, 'cause I can't breathe inside your arms

      Em                           C
Can't live another minute bleedin' from my back
       G                                   Bm

And I don't wanna have another heart attack
