Intro: D-Dmaj7-C-G (x2)
D Dmaj7 C G
Destructive, exciting and I can't let go,
D Dmaj7 C G
Inciting a riot on my radio,
D Dmaj7 C G
I'm going, I'm gone, even though I know it's wrong,
Em G D A
He's a Saturday night and Sunday morning rolled into one,
Em G D A
With a dirty smile that could shame the sun.
D G * Em A
If I'm gonna hang myself on someone else, he's just enough rope,
D G * Em A
I know he's bad news but I can't say no,
D G Em A
If bitter is sweet then he's just what I need,
Bm G A
So kiss me 'til it bleeds.
D Dmaj7 C G
I'm stupid, a sucker, he's a loaded gun,
D Dmaj7 C G
A lover, a leaver, just a hit and run,
D Dmaj7 C G
When our worlds collide breathe deep and hold on tight,
Em G D A
'Cause he's so rock and roll, I'm a tortured soul with him in my bones,
Em G D A
And he leaves me shattered like a rolling stone.
D G * Em A
If I'm gonna hang myself on someone else, he's just enough rope,

Bm G A
So kiss me 'til it bleeds.
G Em Bm G Em Bm G
Ah-ah, so what do you do now, ah-ah, you know he's gonna take you down,
Em Bm E G D-Dmaj7-C-G
Ah-ah, but you're addicted to the sound, and so you hang around.
D Dmaj7 C G
