INTRO:

D5  G5  B5  G5 | D5  G5  B5  Gsus2 [5 5 7 7 7 x]

 

     D5            Gsus2              Bm7         Gsus2             D5

Am I more than you bargained for?  Yet, I've been dying to tell you anything

    Gsus2                Bm7                Gsus2

You want to hear, 'cause that's just who I am this week.

D5                G5

Lie in the grass next to the mausoleum.

           D5                         G5

I'm just a notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song.

Bm7                         G5

(Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song...)

 

PRE-CHORUS:

F#5    G5     A5      B5                 C5             B5                    G5

Drop a heart, break a name, we're always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team.

 

CHORUS:  [2x]

            D5                                  G5

We're going down, down in an earlier round and, Sugar, we're going down swinging.

             B5                          Gsus2

I'll be your number one with a bullet, a loaded God complex, cock it and pull it.

 

INTERLUDE:  F#5  G5 | A5  B5 | C5  B5 | Gsus2

 

Is this more than you bargained for yet?

Oh, don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet,

Wishing to be the friction in your jeans.

Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him?

I'm just a notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song.

(Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song...)

 

PRE-CHORUS & CHORUS:

 

BRIDGE:  [2x]

E5          D5 [let ring]

We're going down, down in an earlier round, and Sugar, we're going down swinging.

             G5 [let ring]

I'll be your number one with a bullet, a loaded god complex cock it and pull it

 

CHORUS:  [E5 to D5 - out on D5]
