(B) Hello, hello, hello, my darling
(G) Have we reached the end?
'Cause (D) when the stitches (A) fall apart
We're (G) hanging by a (B) thread

B G D A G B - same pattern as verse

(B) Hello, hello, hello, my darling
(G) Some things never change
When our (D) words are dipped in (A) gasoline
Our (G) love goes up in (B) flames

I (B) tried so hard to get behind
Your (G) mental barricade
But (D) every time it (A) leaves me feeling
(G) Damaged, torn and (B) frayed

(E) Hanging by a (G) thread
(E) Hanging by a (G) thread
When you (D) break my heart I (A) fall apart
'Til you (G) stitch me up (B) again

I'm (B) tired of all the drama
That (G) unravels in your head
Well, it's (D) easy to get (A) tangled up
When your (G) world is torn to (B) shreds

And (B) every time you spit at me
Some (G) day you will regret
An (D) ounce of insecurity (A)
Is (G) worth a pound of (B) lead

(E) Hanging by A (G) thread
(E) Hanging by A (G) thread
When you (D) break my heart I (A) fall apart
'Til you (G) stitch me up (B) again
Oh, (E) hanging by a (G) thread
Oh, (E) hanging by a (G) thread
C'mon (D) patch me up or (A) cut me loose
'Cause these (G) rags are turning (B) red
C'mon (D) patch me up or (A) cut me loose
'Cause I'm (G) hanging by a (B) thread

B G D A G B - during solo bit

World torn to shreds

B G D A G B

Whoa oh whoa oh part
E F# G D

(B) Hello, hello, hello, my darling
(G) Have we reached the end?
'Cause (D) when the stitches (A) fall apart
We're (G) hanging by a (B) thread

For (B) all the times we've hurt each other
With (G) all the things we've said
Well, it's (D) hard to hold an (A) olive branch
With a (G) gun against my (B) head

(E) Hanging by a (G) thread
(E) Hanging by a (G) thread
When you (D) break my heart I (A) fall apart
'Til you (G) stitch me up (B) again
Oh, (E) hanging by a (G) thread
Oh, (E) hanging by a (G) thread
C'mon (D) patch me up or (A) cut me loose
'Cause these (G) rags are turning (B) red
C'mon (D) patch me up or (A) cut me loose
'Cause these (G) rags are turning (B) red
C'mon (D) patch me up or (A) cut me loose
'Cause I'm (G) hanging by a (B) thread
