Capo 1

Dirt in your fingernails

Blood on your knees

But did that ever make you happy?

I think you were my best friend

Gentle do not reprehend

I know it hasn't been a dream

But if you pardon, I will mend

Drunk in a parking lot

Just after three

Tearin' out your hair like a banshee

Lighter and a safety pin

Light the end, burn the skin

I'll stick to you forever

Cause this scar I think is permanent

[Chorus]

G D A

Falling off the edge with you

G D A

A G D A

It was too good to be true

A G D A

Too good to be true

[Verse 2]

Bite off your fingernails

Cut up your skin

Tell me that it didn't happen

Running through the dark woods

Fallen couldn't see straight

I was only looking for a human to reciprocate

Baby it's a black hole

I need it to breathe

But does it really make you happy?

Kiss me with a big knife

Bloody heart of paradise

Living like a soldier

Peace of mind must be nice

[Chorus]

G D A

Falling off the edge with you

G D A

A G D A

It was too good to be true

A G D A

Too good to be true

[Bridge]

Thought I had won

D A

I thought I won til I lost

G D

And I, fixing my fall

But for what cost?

G D

And I see your reflection when I look at mine

And I say (I say, I say)

Baby, don't go away

[Chorus]

G D A

Falling off the edge with you

G D A

A G D A

It was too good to be true

A G D A

Too good to be true
