capo on 1st fret


verse 1

                   Am                          C
you said take the violin that you hang on your wall
                    G
stick it under your bed before it crumbles and falls
                    Am                      C
just dont open your eyes before counting to ten
                        G
i can hardly remember, just the smell of your hands
                     Am                    C
as they danced on my body, running over my pores
                    G
with the force of steering wheel crushing my bones
                          Am                          C
i said you smell like the devil but you feel like the lord
                     G
and when i think of perfection you know i?m thinking of your
                   Am                          C
voice when you tell me you dont call him your baby
                     G
because that was the name that you rightfully gave me
                   Am                 C
and its foolish to share with someone else


chorus:
                  Am      C       G
and my heart goes bum bum bum bum bum
Am      C       G
bum bum bum bum bum


verse 2:

                      Am                              C
but you admit that you're lonely, you're as cold as a statue
                         G
pleading fuck me on the marble that was used to create you
                         Am                            C
i cant stand that you're talking when you shouldn't be living
                        G
i didn't dodge all your bullets i just denied that they hit me
                    Am                             C
so when my body is bleeding i wont admit that this hurts
                        G
because admitting isn't fixing so then what is it worth
                   Am                          C
so to say you're unhappy is like saying you're sorry
                 G
its nothing that i care to hear


chorus:

Am      C       G
bum bum bum bum bum
Am      C       G
bum bum bum bum bum
Am      C       G
bum bum bum bum bum


verse 3:

                          Am                         C
so now the tears in your jeans are the holes in your armor
                         G
you're the thoughts that i feared, you're the mountain i've conquered
                Am                                C
if i told you i loved you would you reach out and touch me
                    G
you taste like the ocean and your body?s disgusting
                    Am                              C
the only reason you breathe is to sleep through the night
                    G
the only reason you speak is to tell me i?m fine
                    Am                              C
the only reason you breathe is to sleep through the night
                    G
the only reason you speak is to state that you?re mine


                   Am     C       G
and my heart goes bum bum bum bum bum
Am      C       G
bum bum bum bum bum
