Intro: C Em C Em

C                     Em
  Even if you'd never strayed from me,
C                   Em
  I'd question your fidelity.
F                     Dm           G
  There'd always be a shroud of suspicion
F                     Dm  G
  And my heart's a liability
C                            Em
  With your hands maroon, so freshly red,
C                       Em
  You'd wrap your lips around my neck.
F                           Dm         G
  Try and force to love the thought of me.
F                        Dm   G
  Simple motions make me ill.

Am                       C
  Was it bitter when you tossed and turned
        F
  On an undercover mattress?
         Dm                    G
  Did it feel so good? Hope it felt so good.
Am                                   C
  Don't know what I'd do if you lost sleep over little old me.
               Dm
  He's so much better.
                   Em7
  They're all much better.
                F                             G
  Take off your sweater, your shoes, and your shirt, and get to work.

( C Em C Em )

C                      Em
  Maybe this is just a work of art.
C                       Em
  Scripted players in a play of lust.
F                            Dm      G
  Hope the end is well worth waiting for
F                               Dm  G
  Everything you wished there'd be

Am                       C
  Was it bitter when you tossed and turned
        F
  On an undercover mattress?
         Dm                    G
  Did it feel so good? Hope it felt so good.
Am                                   C
  Don't know what I'd do if you lost sleep over little old me.
               Dm
  He's so much better.
                   Em7
  They're all much better.
                F                             G
  Take off your sweater, your shoes, and your shirt, and get to work.

C       Em               G      Dm
  Oh my god, what have I done?
C                        Em               G      Dm
Now my darling, put your clothes back on.
C       Em               G      Dm
  Oh my god, what have I done?
C                        Em               G      Dm
Now my darling, put your clothes back on.

          F                                    C       Em
Cause you can't be caught red-handed if you're not red-handed.
   F                             C        Em
My darling, if I ever said those words to you,
      F              G                Am           Dm
I was pulling out my heart so I could pin it to my sleeve
   F                                 C    Em
On display for you to see, I'm on display.

            F                                    C       Em
Because you can't be caught red-handed if you're not red-handed.
   F                                C        Em
My darling, I would never say those words to you.
      F              G                Am           Dm
I was pulling out my heart so I could pin it to my sleeve
   F                                 C    Em
On display for you to see, I'm on display.


F                        C     Em
  Oh my god, what have I done?
F                                         C Em
Now my darling, put your clothes back on.
F       G                Am    Dm
  Oh my god, what have I done?
F
Now my darling, put your clothes back on.
C                        Em
Now my darling, put your clothes back on.

            F
Because you can't be caught red-handed
                    (Oh my god...)
             C       Em
   If you're not red-handed.
(What have I done?)
    F                                       C        Em
My  darling, if   I   ever   said   those   words to you,
   (Now my darling, put your clothes back on)
      F              G                Am           Dm
I was pulling out my heart so I could pin it to my sleeve
            (Oh my god,   what have I done?)
   F
On display for you to see,
  (Now my darling, put your clothes back on)
        C    Em
 I'm on display.
       (Now my darling, put your clothes back on)

F                        C     Em
  Oh my god, what have I done?
F
Now my darling, put your clothes back on.
Now my darling, put your clothes back on.
