Ammaj7 - 2443 [Intro] Am Ammaj7 C D7 [Verse 1]
     Am
I've grown a mouth so sharp and cruel

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

    Am
And when you come in quick to steal a kiss

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

    F          Dm              E
But I am not a vessel for your good intent
[Chorus]
       F               G       C Am
I will only break your pretty things

       F              G      C Am
I will only wring you dry of everything

              Dm
But if you're fine with that

           F         E
You can be mine like that
[Instrumental] Am F Am F Am [Verse 2]
 Am
Abandon all your stupid dreams

                                     F
About the girl I could have been, my dear

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

                    F
I cannot return, my dear

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

     F            G
Desperation will erase the fact

    E
I'm keeping all
[Bridge]
       Am             G        C
Of the answers in my cigarette box

          Am              G                 C
Yeah, the answer's in the second before the other shoe drops

              Dm
And if you're blind to that

     F         E
I am fine with that
[Instrumental] Am F Am F Am [Bridge]
Am                 F
Oh, I will ruin you

Am                 F
Oh, I will ruin you

       F               E
It's a habit - I can't help it

F               G       C
I know that you mean so well

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

       F              G      Am
I will only wring you dry of everything

              Dm
But if you're fine with that

           F         E
You can be mine like that

       F               G     Am
I will poison all your happy thoughts

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

              Dm
And if you're fine with that

           E
You can be mine

          Dm
If you're fine with that

           E
You can be mine
