C#m I've got a book of matches
A I've got a F#m can of kerosene
C#m I've got some bad ideas in A volving y F#m ou and me
C#m I don't blame you for walking away
I to A uched myself had F#m thoughts of flames
I C#m shat the bed and laid there in it
A F#m C#m (INTRO RIFF) A
Thinking of you wide awake for days
F#m Wide awake for days
C#m - A - F#m
C#m And I found you tongue-tied A in my twi F#m sted little brain
C#m You couldn't crack a smile
A I didn't c F#m atch your name
C#m I don't blame you for walking away
I'd A do the same if F#m I saw me
C#m I swear it's not contagious
In four short A steps we can B erase this
E Step one -- slit my throat
Step A two -- play in my bloo B d
E Step three -- cover me in dirty sheets and run A laughing out of the B house
E Step four -- stop off at Edgebrook Creek and ri A nse your crimson h B ands
A You took me hostage and B made your demands
A I couldn't meet them so you c B ut off my fingers, one by C#m one
(INTRO RIFF) C#m - A - F#m
REPEAT
I'm like a broken record
I've got a needle scratching me
It injects the poison of alcohol I.V.
I don't blame you for walking away
I'd do the same if I saw me
I swear it's not contagious
I swear to God it's not contagious
Step one -- slit my throat
Step two -- play in my blood
Step three -- cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
Step four -- stop at Lake Michigan and rinse your crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one
C#m This could be love - A love for fi F#m re
C#m This could be love - A love for f F#m ire
C#m This could be love - A love for f F#m ire
C#m This could be love for A fire for B evermore
Step one -- slit my throat
Step two -- play in my blood
Step three -- cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
Step four -- stop at Berkeley Marina and rinse your crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one
One by one
