B         D        G
  i was a side dish, for her main prey

B           D        G
  i did not like this, yeah and he lives to say

B               D      G

  i was a right mess, you see i loved her madly

B          D     G
  i felt rejected, and disrespected

B             D       G
  i thought i knew her, i stand corrected

B             D         G
  but now i'm lying here, clueless as what to say

  the way you turned on me
[Verse]
B        D     G
  i preceded to, self-medicate

B       D          G
  i was shame-faced, and i was full of hate

B           D    G
  two weeks later, that's when i saw her

F#             A
  i was out of breath from treading water

B           D      G
  i was embarrassed, all my friends were there

B         D          G
  so i pretended that, i didn't care

B           D     G
  but honey inside, i was burning

F#                       A
  my hands were trembling, my stomach turning
[Chorus]
B            G
  chokehold, chokehold ( uh uh oh oh oh )

B            G
  chokehold, chokehold ( uh uh oh oh oh )

  so cold, you're so cold ( uh uh oh oh oh )

  the way you turned on me
[Bridge]
B                  G
  why do you wanna hurt me?
Left me out in the rain
B                G
  now drunk on a night bus
Meeting with an old flame
B                G
  now washing my bedsheets
Hanging them out to dry
B                   G
  just like you did to me
I guess that this is goodbye, goodbye! [Chorus]
B            G
  chokehold, chokehold ( uh uh oh oh oh )

B            G
  chokehold, chokehold ( uh uh oh oh oh )

B                 G
  so cold, you're so cold ( uh uh oh oh oh )

A                       F#
  the way you turned on me

B            G
  chokehold, chokehold ( uh uh oh oh oh )

B            G
  chokehold, chokehold ( uh uh oh oh oh )

B                 G
  so cold, you're so cold ( uh uh oh oh oh )
