Intro: 
Bm--G--D-A-G-Bm-


Bm
Hello hello hello my darling
G
have we reached the end?
      D                 A
Cause when the stitches fall
            G            Bm
apart we're hanging by a thread


Bm--G--D-A-G-Bm-


Verse 1:
   Bm
Hello hello hello my darling
G
some things never change
         D
When our words are dipped in
A            G
gasoline our love
           Bm
goes up in flames
  Bm
I tried so hard to get
behind your 
G
mental barricade
    D             A
But every time it leaves me
        G                Bm
feeling damaged torn and frayed


Chorus 1:
Em           G
Hanging by a thread
Em           G
Hanging by a thread
         D
When you break my heart
  A
I fall apart til
     G            Bm
you stitch me up again


Post Chorus:
Bm--G--D-A-G-Bm-


Verse 2:
    Bm
I'm tired of all the drama 
       G
that unravels in your head
          D           A
Well it's easy to get tangled 
             G                Bm
up when your world is torn to shreds
    Bm
And everytime you spit at me
    G
someday you will regret
   D            A
An ounce of insecurity is 
G                Bm
worth a pound of lead


Chorus 2:
Em           G
Hanging by a thread
Em           G
Hanging by a thread
         D
When you break my heart
  A
I fall apart til
     G            Bm
you stitch me up again oh
Em           G
Hanging by a thread
Em           G
Hanging by a thread
      D              A
C'mon patch me up or cut me loose
            G                Bm
cause these rags are turning red
      D              A
C'mon patch me up or cut me loose
          G            Bm
cause I'm hanging by a thread

with all the things we've said
