[Intro] Am Am/G# Am/G Am/F# Fmaj7 (x2) [Verse 1]
     Am               Am/B
I've grown a mouth so sharp and cruel

     C                              Fmaj7
It's all that I can give to you, my dear

    Am                Am/B            C
And when you come in quick to steal a kiss

                            Fmaj7    E7
My teeth will only cut your lips, my dear
[Pre-chorus]
    F               G        C
And I know that you mean so well

    F          G               E7
But I am not a vessel for your good intent
[Chorus]
       Am              Am/G#    Am/G  Am/F#
I will only break your pretty things

       Am             Am/G#  Am/G  Am/F#
I will only wring you dry of everything

              Fmaj7
But if you're fine with that

           E7
You can be mine like that
[Instrumental] Am Am/B Am/C Fmaj7 (x2) [Verse 2]
 Am              Am/B
Abandon all your stupid dreams

   C                                 Fmaj7
About the girl I could have been, my dear

       Am             Am/B               C
'Cause in the night I know you burn with feelings

                    Fmaj7
I cannot return, my dear

       E7
Oh, my dear
[Pre-chorus]
    F               G           C
You gotta know that this won't last

     F            G
Desperation will erase the fact

    E7
I'm keeping all
[Chorus]
       Am            Am/G#      Am/G  Am/F#
Of the answers in my cigarette box

          Am              Am/G#             Am/G        Am/F#
Yeah, the answer's in the second before the other shoe drops

              Fmaj7
And if you're blind to that

     E7
I am fine with that
[Instrumental] Fmaj7 Am Am/G Am/F# Am/D (x2) [Bridge]
Fmaj7           Am Am/G Am/F# Am/D
Oh, I will ruin you

Fmaj7           Am Am/G Am/F# Am/D
Oh, I will ruin you

      Fmaj7           E7
It's a habit - I can't help it

F               G        C
I know that you mean so well

    F          G               E7
But I am not a vessel for your good intent
[Chorus]
       Am              Am/G#    Am/G  Am/F#
I will only break your pretty things

       Am             Am/G#  Am/G  Am/F#
I will only wring you dry of everything

              Fmaj7
But if you're fine with that

         E7
If you're fine with that

       Am              Am/G#    Am/G  Am/F#
I will poison all your happy thoughts

       Am                Am/G#       Am/G       Am/F#
I will love you like the ashes in my cigarette box

              Fmaj7
And if you're fine with that

           E7
You can be mine

          Fmaj7
If you're fine with that

           E7
You can be mine
[Outro] Am Am/B C Fmaj7 (x3)
