Chords

[Intro] C Dm Am G (x2) [Verse 1]
C
You hold me down, right on time, love of my life

C
You showed up, and showed me so wrong, you were right

Am                   F                   C
Alone in this ocean, floating in the moonlight

Am                           F               C
At home with the notion it's me, myself, and I
[Verse 2]
C
I was the live fast, car crash, Mulholland Drive

C
Open the flood gates, this love-hate is making me cry

    Am                          F                          C
But tears fill the tub with the blood from your wrist that night
[Chorus]
F
If we should live forever

Am             G
Like sweet vampires

F
When we can reign together

C          G
Our own empire

F
Now we should try to sever

C            G
All our past ties

F
But it's me and you

F
And the skies are blue

     G
Both bleeding from our eyes
C Dm Am G (x2) [Verse 3]
        C
I was a love-sick, dumb dick, top off the stock

C
Came to shove, when you push and locked his keys in his car

Am                                F                 C
I feel like an animal that's been kicked around too long

Am                              F                     C
An eel who's electric circuitry that's been wired all wrong
[Chorus]
F
If we should live forever

Am             G
Like sweet vampires

F
When we can reign together

C          G
Our own empire

F
Now we should try to sever

C            G
All our past ties

F
But it's me and you

F
And the skies are blue

     G
Both bleeding from our eyes
[Bridge]
Am            B5               
Now where the hell have you

C            F      Em
Gone off and flown away to

Am    B5               F                 
Some shithole you call home (some asshole)

Am        B5    
Told me I won't survive

C            F        Em
Somehow, I'm scraping by

G
We're reduced to ruin

F             G  F
Rubble, rags and bones
[Chorus]
C
If we should live forever

F             G
Like sweet vampires

C
When we can reign together

F          G
Our own empire

Am            F
Now we should try to sever

C            G
All our past ties

F
But it's me and you

F
And the skies are blue

     G
Both bleeding from our eyes
C Dm Am [Outro]
Am   G        F        C    Dm
Both bleeding from our eyes

Am   G        F        C    Dm
Both bleeding from our eyes

Am   G        F        C    Dm
Both bleeding from our eyes

Am   G        F        C
Both bleeding from our eyes
