D#         A#                 A#m
Put on my best dress, I wanted to impress
  G#
I put a little make-up on
D#               A#               A#m
Put a bow in my hair, wore pretty underwear
G#
Hoping you might take it off

Don't know your etiquette but
I'm strapped to my chair, and it ain't 'cause you're pretty
You were charming, until
You saw your chance to kill, your chance to make history

Chorus:
Fm                         A#
You went straight for the knife
         D#                 G#             D# 
And I prepared to die your blade it shines
Fm                        A#
Looked me straight in the eye
               D#            C#
You turned the gas on high, held the flame alight
    Cm              D#
You wonder why I'm scared of fire
    C#             G#
You wonder why you make girls cry

My mascara a mess, harsh words for your princess
Boy, you and your promises
If your goal was to love, you scored an epic miss
Now you'll just have memories

Chorus

A#       G#          Cm
Boy you draw me back in
A#              G#        Cm
I'm hungry for your bad loving
A#                        G#                D# C# Cm
But will someone find me swinging from the rafters
     A#                     G#
From hanging on your every word

Chorus
