A A             F#m F#m
Just 'cause I bought a Band-Aid
G G Bm Bm A A
Doesn't mean I'm able to clean the scars that run
F#m F#m
Deeper than all my old demons that
G G Bm Bm
I keep under still water

A A F#m F#m
Just 'cause you give me flowers
G G Bm Bm
Doesn't cover up the smell of the dead body
A A
Or raise the dead body
F#m F#m G G Bm Bm
Of a girl who got shot down before

A A F#m F#m
Just 'cause you cracked the window
G G
Doesn't mean I'm able to
Bm Bm A A
Clear the air that my heart breathes
G G Bm Bm
Before you came around here

A A F#m F#m
Just 'cause you say you love me
G G
Doesn't mean that I'm
Bm Bm
Gonna look you in the eyes
A A F#m F#m
Pretend to be surprised
G G
And say "I love you" back
(Love you back)

[Pre-Chorus]
D D
Cause I'm tripping, 'trippin on rocks
G G Bm Bm
Cuttin' on my ankles where I know the blood stops
D D
Blue Blue Knees
G G Bm Bm
Fallin' for the next man who breathes



[Chorus]
D D A A
I need a band-aid recovery
G G Bm Bm D D
Don't get too close 'cause you're really nothing to me
A A G G Bm Bm
You're just a Band-Aid on my knees
D D A A G G
You're just a band-aid recovery
Bm Bm G G
I'll rip you off when I bleed
D D A A
I'll rip you off when I bleed

[Verse 2]
A A F#m F#m
Just 'cause I'm coming over
G G Bm Bm
Doesn't mean I'll be there when you wake up
A A
'Cause coming over doesn't
F#m F#m G G Bm Bm
Mean that I'm over him

A A F#m F#m
Just 'cause you are my band-aid
G G Bm Bm
Doesn't mean I want you to stick around
A A F#m F#m
Cause rebounds get washed away
G G Bm Bm
The next time it rains

[Pre-Chorus]
D D
Cause I'm tripping, 'trippin on rocks
G G Bm Bm
Cuttin' on my ankles where I know the blood stops
D D
Blue Blue Knees
G G Bm Bm
Fallin' for the next man who breathes

[Chorus]
D D A A
I need a band-aid recovery
G G Bm Bm D D
Don't get too close 'cause you're really nothing to me
A A G G Bm Bm
You're just a Band-Aid on my knees
D D A A G G
You're just a band-aid recovery
Bm Bm G G
I'll rip you off when I bleed
D D A A
I'll rip you off when I bleed

I think it would sound more as the original if the sequence was F#m, E, Bm and A. I'll probably do myself an alternative version and post, but keep this suggestion :)
