Intro: Dm A Dm Bb A Dm A Dm Gm D A Dm

Verse:
A  Dm                               A       Dm
   I could drink your blood if you let me, baby,
 Gm             Dm        A            Dm
Hang from your rafters, patchwork and paisley.
                              A           Dm
I could suck you dry on the rocks with a twist,
     Gm          Dm      A        D
but just like a vampire, I don't exist.
 Gm                   Dm
Walkie-talkie static white noise telepath,
 A                        Dm
can you read between the morse code lines?
Gm                         Dm
Dead from the neck up but living just enough
    E7                          A
to beg you, pretty boy, please let me die.

Chorus:
Dm                               A       Dm
I could drink your blood if you let me, baby,
Gm                 Dm     A       Dm
drain you o' your love until you hate me.

Verse:
A  Dm                                 A            Dm
   I could take your life if you're done with it, sweetheart.
Gm                Dm        A            Dm
You still picking at that? Only ate the good parts.
                             A           Dm
Hey, whatever works, I'm a cheap date. (Check, please!)
 Gm              Dm        A             D
Falling off the bone, I'm awful glad we met. We
 Gm               Dm
Only ever notice what's in front of us.
 A                       Dm
Read over my shoulder, breathing down my neck,
Gm                      Dm
are we on the same page yet? I'm getting old here!
 E7                         A
Come on, don't you get it? What the heck.

Chorus:
Dm                               A       Dm
I could drink your blood if you let me, baby,
Gm                 Dm     A              Dm
drain you o' your love until you hate me.

Interlude:
D Dm         D
 whistling

Bridge:
Gm                    Dm
Yes, to err is human. So don't be one.
 A                        Dm       D
This was a mistake. I'll take my leave.
 Gm                  Dm
But before I go, let me know if you see a
 E7                      A
little black bag with a toe tag, please?
   Dm                   A        Dm
If you don't hate me, then reanimate me.
 Gm              Dm     A               Dm
Prove it to me, baby, lightning in my veins, these
 D               Gm
instincts I've managed to stave mean
 E7                      A
monsters must be people too.

Oh, jeez!

Chorus:
Dm                               A       Dm
I could drink your blood if you let me, baby,
Gm                 Dm     A      Dm
drain you o' your love until you hate me.

Outro:
Dm                                 A         Dm
I will drink your blood till your lips turn blue.
Gm                 Dm          A   Bb  A    Dm
Drain you o' your love if you want me--e    too!
Dm   A Dm
