[Intro]
Am Am7M C D7
 
[Verse 1]
     Am
I've grown a mouth so sharp and cruel
                                    F
It's all that I can give to you, my dear
    Am
And when you come in quick to steal a kiss
                            F        E
My teeth will only cut your lips, my dear
 
[Pre-chorus]
    F               G       C
And I know that you mean so well
    F          Dm              E
But I am not a vessel for your good intent
 
[Chorus]
       F               G       C Am
I will only break your pretty things
       F              G      C Am
I will only wring you dry of everything
              Dm
But if you're fine with that
           F         E
You can be mine like that
 
[Instrumental]
Am F Am F Am
 
[Verse 2]
 Am
Abandon all your stupid dreams
                                     F
About the girl I could have been, my dear
       Am
'Cause in the night I know you burn with feelings
                    F
I cannot return, my dear
       E
Oh, my dear
 
[Pre-chorus]
    F               G          Am
You gotta know that this won't last
     F            G
Desperation will erase the fact
    E
I'm keeping all
 
[Bridge]
       Am             G        C
Of the answers in my cigarette box
          Am              G                 C
Yeah, the answer's in the second before the other shoe drops
              Dm
And if you're blind to that
     F         E
I am fine with that
 
[Instrumental]
Am F Am F Am
 
[Bridge]
Am                 F
Oh, I will ruin you
Am                 F
Oh, I will ruin you
       F               E
It's a habit - I can't help it
F               G       C
I know that you mean so well
    F           Dm             E
But I am not a vessel for your good intent
 
[Chorus]
       F               G       Am
I will only break your pretty things
       F              G      Am
I will only wring you dry of everything
              Dm
But if you're fine with that
           F         E
You can be mine like that
       F               G     Am
I will poison all your happy thoughts
        F                G            Am
I will love you like the ashes in my cigarette box
              Dm
And if you're fine with that
           E
You can be mine
          Dm
If you're fine with that
           E
You can be mine
