Em           C        G
I understand vampires now

C         G            Gsus2
And i see how they end up alone

Em                C        G
I get that when a person's cursed

C              G          Gsus2
Sometimes the thirst just runs the show

Em                      C      G
When they said you were bad for me

    C      G        Gsus2
All i could see were jealous fools

Em             C       G
But every time we fall asleep

C        G         Gsus2
I wake up weak with puncture wounds
[Pre-Chorus]
              Am7                     G
Yeah, you had just enough humanity to kick me around

C                             Gsus2
Told me you were drowning when you'd already drowned
[Chorus]
    C                             Gsus2
But you just couldn't help yourself

Gsus2
You do it over and over

C                                 Gsus2
No, you just couldn't help yourself

Gsus2
You won't take it from nobody else
[Verse]
Em                   C       G
You showed me off to all your friends

C            G          Gsus2
And i got the sense they hated me

Em                   C      G
You said you'd never felt so alive

C           G        Gsus2
It's hard to deny the irony
[Pre-Chorus]
      Am7
Oh, why can't you trust me

G
Let down your guard

    C
Not everyone who loves you

             Gsus2
Is trying to stake your heart
[Chorus]
    C                             Gsus2
But you just couldn't help yourself

Gsus2
You do it over and over

    C                             Gsus2
And you just couldn't help yourself

Gsus2
But you won't take it from nobody else
[Bridge]
             Am7
You could've counted on me

         Em
When you needed to feed

             Am7
You could've counted on me

            Em
To put some color in your cheeks

               Am7
You could have counted on me

Am7
When they came for revenge

               Em                    Am7
You could have counted on me til the end
[Chorus]
        C                              Gsus2
Oh, but you just couldn't help yourself

   C                            Gsus2
No you, you couldn't help yourself

    C                            Gsus2
And you just couldn't help yourself

                           C
You were lost and found and you you you

                          Gsus2
Just couldn't help yourself

                                  C
But you won't take it from nobody else
