[Intro] Em Am D G B [Verse 1]
Em                       Am
Twisted all my limbs for you

D                        G               B
Two of them in knots and two of them in loops

Em                         Am
Ribbons tied around like a noose

D                          G     B
Wonder if I'll ever get it loose

Em                       Am
I don't wanna bruise for you

D                        G              B
Holding back my words until my face is blue

Em                              Am
I don't really care about your crew

                   D              G  B
You can tell them what you wanted to
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
(Bones are crushing, palms are crushing)

        Am
Pushin' me (Bodies touching, bodies touching)

       D
Lovin' me (Heart is pumping, heart is pumping)

Pullin' me (Feelin' nothing, feelin' nothing)

Fuckin' me (Bones are crushing, palms are crushing)

Touchin' me, uh-ah
[Chorus]
   Em        Am      D
I'm done, I'm done, done doing backbends

    G          B          Em      Am
I break and I snap, it's no fun, no fun

D                    G              B     Em
Pushed myself into a box, while you held out a gun

Am         D           G      B
 I'm done, ah-ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Em       Am         D           G      B
I'm done, I'm done, ah-ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Twisting all my bones like screws

Stretching my self worth, just like you usually do

Em                            Am      N.C.
Caught you like the cold or a flu (Ah-choo)

D                               G   B
Praying that I'll someday be immune

Em                   Am
Got me like a bad tattoo (Oh-oh-oh)

D                       G              B
Always under skin, even when it gets removed (Ooh)

Em                      Am
Never got a chance to undo (Oh-oh-oh)

   D                          G              B
Positions that you forced my way into (Ooh)
