Verse 1:
               A5
Look what you started
             F5                 G5
I seem to be coming out of my skin
                    A5
Look what you've forgotten here
             F5                  G5
The bandages just don't keep me in
                C5   F5           C5   F5
And when it was over I woke up alone
                C5   F5           C5   F5
And when it was over I woke up alone


Chorus 1:
         A5        G5
And they cut me to ribbons
    F5          C5
and told me to drive
           A5      G5
I got your name tattooed
  F5          C5
inside of my arm
  A5            G5
I called for my father
       F5          C5
but my father had died
                  F5
While you told me fortunes
    G5

(Repeat Intro once)


Verse 2:
                A5
And look at the damage
             F5
The fortunes came
               G5
for the richer men
While we were left
     A5
with gallows
                    F5
Just waiting for us liars
                 G5
to come down and hang
                C5   F5
And when it was over
           C5   F5
I woke up alone
                C5   F5
And when it was over
           C5   F5
I woke up alone


Chorus 2:
         A5        G5
And they cut me to ribbons
    F5          C5
and told me to drive
           A5      G5
I got your name tattooed
  F5          C5

  A5            G5

       F5          C5

Bridge:
A5                    G5
  And here's where we died
               F5
that time last year
              C5
And where the angels
           A5
and devils meet
            G5
And you can dance with
                 F5
the queen if you need
             C5
And she will always keep your
F5              G5
cards close to her heart
C5                    F5
  Oh so close to her heart
                      C5   F5
before they tear you apart


Chorus 3:
         A5        G5
And they cut me to ribbons
    F5          C5
and told me to drive

I got your name tattooed
  F5          C5
inside of my arm
  A5            G5
I called for my father
       F5          C5
but my father had died
       A5             G5
And we called for our fathers
        F5           C5
but our fathers had died
                  F5
