There may be some errors, but I hope they're not too bad.
[Verse 1]
F#mThis town's not Dbig enough for the Aboth of Eus 
F#mI won't play Ddrinking games 
But I'll Afuck myself Eup 
F#mI don't like Dyou just as Amuch as you Edon't like me 
F#mI ran my Dmouth for kicks 
ABlack eye and a Ebusted lip 
[Interlude]
F#m, D, A, E (x2)
[Verse 2]
F#mWooden floor, your Ddusty sheets 
ASlow, but Ebreathing 
F#mDo you grind your teeth when you Dsleep with him? 
I guess the Aring doesn't Ematter 
F#mYou're the daughter of a Dbad man 
He let you Adown 
Before you could Etalk, you were lying 
F#mI had pictures of her Deyes 
But she cut them Aout 
She said that they Elook just like his 
[Interlude]
F#m, D, F#m, D
[Chorus]
F#mI'll play Ddead, just like Ayou 
Alone and Ecovered in blue 
F#mI won't let Dyou dowAn 
I won't Elet you down
[Verse 2]
On the prowl in your descending dream 
You can't stop me 
You're on your knees 
You've got it bad 
I can't look away 
You won't say you're sorry 
She cut her hand 
The black blood drips 
On the painting of a sunken ship 
She says It's me 
I'm the catalyst 
Your eyes are getting older
[Chorus]
I'll play dead, just like you 
Alone and covered in blue 
I won't let you down
I won't let you down
You play the last chorus 5 times.
