Verse  1:
B                                E
Maybe it's just cheap easy lust with chemicals 
F#
we 're dirt forever 
B                                         E
Maybe we're blessed, I'll rip your dress, you pull my hair 
    F#
now we'll leave together 
B                                          E
Maybe you're young, I'll bite your tongue, your lip will bleed 
F#
we?re trash forever 
B                                    E
Maybe you're right, just for tonight your clumsy kiss 
F#
Won't taste so clever 

Pre-Chorus:
    B
And all I need is a substitute 
      E                  F#               E
Maybe in the dark she'll look enough like you 

Chorus:
              B              F#
I'll take the shame, lust to blame 
                     E
What if we ever meet again?
               B              F#
I'll know your face, not your name
    B         F#  E
But we'll know

Verse 2:
B                                E
Maybe I'll find pleasure tonight with chemicals 
F#
I'll hardly miss her
B                                      E
Maybe you wear clothes like she wears, same coloured hair 
F#
I'm sick forever    

Pre-Chorus:
    B
And all I need is a substitute 
      E                  F#               E
Maybe in the dark she'll look enough like you 

Chorus:
               B             F#
I'll take the shame, lust to blame 
                     E
What if we ever meet again?
               B              F#
I'll know your face, not your name
    
But we'll know

E                B              F#
   Our eyes were bright, out of sight 
                                E
Two strangers caught behind the night 
           B              F#       E     B   F#
You're the perfect second best 

Bridge:
E                             F#
   Now every time I see your      ghost
E                            F#
   Now every time I see your ghost
           B              E
You're the perfect second best

Chorus:
               B             F#
I'll take the shame, lust to blame 
                     E
What if we ever meet again?
               B              F#
I'll know your face, not your name
    B     F#
But we'll know

E                B              F#
   Our eyes were bright, out of sight 
                                E
Two strangers caught behind the night 
           B              F#       E   F#   B
You're the perfect second best
