Intro: Dm  
[Dm]Don't stop 'till I give the safeword.
Maybe you have [A#]not heard.
Wonder what it [A]was.
[Dm]This is not about the devil but the way to [A#]heaven,
baby I can [A]cope.
[A9]Uh, it's only bruised, it's only [A]bruised.
I don't need [A7]you [A9]telling me what's wise,
it's only [A]my [Dm]per-[A#]cep-[A#/A]tion [A]right?
[Dm[A#][A]
DmI am just a little stranger,
this is what I'm A#made of, this is what I Awant.
DmMaybe you are on the wrong side,
surely not on A#my side
baby, you can Ago.
A9True, it wasn't you who got me Abruised, that may be A7right.
If A9you don't wanna try then maybe AI
[Dm]can [A#]save [A#/A]my-[A]self.
instr.: [Dm][A#][A]
(staccato:)
DmDon't stop 'till you hit the right spot,
'till you make my A#heart throb,
this is what I Awant.
DmI've been waiting for the safeword but it really A#won't hurt
baby, I can Acope.
A9True, it wasn't you who got me Abruised, that may be A7right.
If A9you don't wanna try then maybe AI
will try my-A7self to A9lighten up my life,
it's only Amy Dmper-A#cep-A#/Ation Aright?
Safe-Aword, safe-Dmword, safeA#word, safeA#/Aword, it really Ahurts
End on Dm
