Chords

[Intro] G C Em C [Verse 1]
G
 Tell me you've been distracted

C
 Just say you hate what’s happened

G                           Am    Em Gsus2
 But tell me you can't be what I need

G
 L.A. is so dramatic

C
 But I'm learning to like the traffic

G                       Am      Em Gsus2
 It’s given me time to hum new melodies
[Pre-Chorus]
                 C
Like how you're so ice cold to me

                       D
I can feel you in my bloodstream, killing things

        Em
You're so ice cold to me

                      G
I can feel you in my heartbeat, my heartbeat
[Chorus]
                  G                          D  C
So if you're gonna mess me up, don't do it slowly

                   G                                D   C
And if you're gonna lead me on, then act like you know me

                     C                    D
And if you're gonna get me addicted, you have my permission

            Em       D/F#      G
I think I know how these things go

D        C                   D              G
If you're gonna mess me up, don’t do it slow
[Verse 2]
G
 And tell me you’re busy working

C
 Or tell me a fire is burning

G                           Am    Em                Gsus2
 And tell me you can't be what I need (you can’t be what I need)

G                  D
 The city's so dramatic

C
 But I'm getting much better at acting

G                      Am      Em     Gsus2
 I've got no time to think of memories
[Pre-Chorus]
      C
Like how you're so ice cold to me

                       D
I can feel you in my bloodstream, killing things

        Em
You're so ice cold to me

                      G
I can feel you in my heartbeat, my heartbeat

            C
Between the empty sex and cigarettes

            Dsus4
I think of you between the breaths

          Em
I wanna know what's happening

         G
I wanna know why the phone won't ring
[Chorus]
                  G                          D  C
So if you're gonna mess me up, don't do it slowly

                   G                                D   C
And if you're gonna lead me on, then act like you know me

                     C                    D
And if you're gonna get me addicted, you have my permission

            Em       D/F#      G
I think I know how these things go

D        C                   D              G
If you're gonna mess me up, don’t do it slow
[Bridge]
         G                       D C
Keep on messing me, messing me up, oh-oh

             G                       D C
You keep on messing me, messing me up, oh-oh

         G
Keep on messing me, messing me up

D    C
 Between the empty sex and cigarettes

         G
Keep on messing me, messing me up

D    C
 I think of you between the breaths
[Outro]
                 C                    D
If you're gonna get me addicted, you have my permission

            Em       D/F#      G
I think I know how these things go

D        C                   D              G
If you're gonna mess me up, don’t do it slow

                    C             D              G
Yeah if you're gonna mess me up, don’t do it slow
