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

A
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

I tried so hard to get behind
your mental barricade
But every time it leaves me feeling
damaged, torn, and frayed

Chorus:
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

I'm tired of all the drama
that unravels in your head
Well, it's easy to get tangled up
when your world is torn to shreds
And every time you spit at me,
some day you will regret
An ounce of insecurity is
worth a pound of lead

Chorus:
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

Hello, hello, hello my darling,
have we reached the end?
'Cause when the stitches fall apart
we're hanging by a thread
For all the times we've hurt each other,
with all the things we've said
Well, it's hard to hold this olive
branch with a gun against my head

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