E: 022100 C#m: 446654 A: 002220 B7: 021202 F#m: 244222 A7: 002223
The B7 can be played as a standard B: 224442, actually sounds better, but I've 
seen video of Jolie performing this song and she definitely plays a B7  
Capo #2
(E)If disappointment was like a drug
I (C#m)overdosed again
(E)I can't take the razor-sharp edge
(C#m)Off your crooked grin
I lost the (A)war, I lost it all
And I can't (B7)get it back again
I can't (F#m)set you right when you
(B7)Go into a spin - All I can (E)do
Is (A)survey the (E)wreckage (B7)from (E)here
(Bm)There you were in (E)silk and fur
So (Bm)very fine to (E)behold and I was
(A7)Hanging on to your every word and
Hoping for something more
(F#m)Then you took my (B7)fondest wish
And (F#m)twisted it into  A(B7)cord
And how here I (E)hang (A)strung up
By my (E)hope for (B7)something (E)more
(F#m)You know that (B7)I really loved you
(F#m)And I loved you (B7)first?
(F#m)You know I'd take what (B7)you'd given and
(F#m)You could do your (B7)worst
Your worst
If disappointment was like a drug
I overdosed again
I can't take the razor-sharp edge
Off your crooked grin
I lost the war - I lost it all
And I can't get it back again
I can't set you right when you
Go into a spin - All I can do
Is survey the wreckage from here
