[Intro]
Am  F  G  D
[Chorus]
Call me a Amthief
There's been a Frobbery
I left with her Gheart
Tore it apart
Made no Dapologies 
[Verse 1]
I've been living in the Amdarkness
Shadows in my apartment, Cheartless
Tkaing love just to spill it on Gparchment
Next page and I'm out Dagain
I've been living in the Amnight life
Lips hit you like a drive by, Cfrost bite
Ice cold, I mean they cut like a Gsharp knife
Next page and I'm out Dagain
[Pre-Chorus]
AmSkin on my skin, what a Cwonderful sin 
Take your Gbreath but you're asking for Dmore
The Amtip of my finger is Ctracing your figure
I say Ggood night and walkout the Ddoor
[Chorus]
Call me a Amthief
There's been a Frobbery
I left with her Gheart
Tore it apart
Made no Dapologies
Just call me a Amthief
She was on Ftop of me 
Then I left with her Gheart
Broken and Scarred
Made no Dapologies
[Verse 2]
We can be so Amhollow
Like my rib cage, the echoes Cfollow
Follow me like the fears I Gswallow
And drown in all my Dmistakes
All I know is that your Amskin bled  
Like the ink dripped from my pen
My Cbed will be drenched in a scarlet rose Gred
And drown in all my Dmistakes
[Pre-Chorus]
AmSkin on my skin, what a Cwonderful sin 
Take your Gbreath but you're asking for Dmore
The Amtip of my finger is Ctracing your figure
I say Ggood night and walkout the Ddoor
[Chorus]
Call me a Amthief
There's been a Frobbery
I left with her Gheart
Tore it apart
Made no Dapologies
Just call me a Amthief
She was on Ftop of me 
Then I left with her Gheart
Broken and Scarred
Made no Dapologies
[Bridge]
Girl you Ambetter just lock me up
Because I've Fnever been good enough
So you Gbetter just lock me up, lock me Dup
Girl you Ambetter just lock me up
Because I've Fnever been good enough
So you Gbetter just lock me up, lock me Dup
[Chorus]
Call me a Amthief
There's been a Frobbery
I left with her Gheart
Tore it apart
Made no Dapologies
Just call me a Amthief
She was on Ftop of me 
Then I left with her Gheart
Broken and Scarred
Made no Dapologies
[Bridge/Outro]
Girl you Ambetter just lock me up
Because I've Fnever been good enough
So you Gbetter just lock me up, lock me Dup
Girl you Ambetter just lock me up
Because I've Fnever been good enough
So you Gbetter just lock me up, lock me Dup

[Intro]

Am F G D

[Chorus]

Call me a thief

There's been a robbery

I left with her heart

Tore it apart

Made no apologies

[Verse 1]

I've been living in the darkness

Shadows in my apartment, heartless

Tkaing love just to spill it on parchment

Next page and I'm out again

I've been living in the night life

Lips hit you like a drive by, frost bite

Ice cold, I mean they cut like a sharp knife

Next page and I'm out again

[Pre-Chorus]

Skin on my skin, what a wonderful sin

Take your breath but you're asking for more

Am C

The tip of my finger is tracing your figure

G D

I say good night and walkout the door

[Chorus]

Call me a thief

There's been a robbery

I left with her heart

Tore it apart

Made no apologies

Just call me a thief

She was on top of me

Then I left with her heart

Broken and Scarred

Made no apologies

[Verse 2]

We can be so hollow

Like my rib cage, the echoes follow

Follow me like the fears I swallow

And drown in all my mistakes

All I know is that your skin bled

Like the ink dripped from my pen

C G

My bed will be drenched in a scarlet rose red

And drown in all my mistakes

[Pre-Chorus]

Am C

Skin on my skin, what a wonderful sin

Take your breath but you're asking for more

The tip of my finger is tracing your figure

I say good night and walkout the door

Made no apologies

Girl you better just lock me up

Then I left with her heart

Broken and Scarred

Made no apologies

So you better just lock me up, lock me up
