[Intro]
A F#m Bm E
[Verse 1]
So you say this is Alife
Well, I think that it's pF#moison
It blackens my Bmblood
And steals my Dbreath
No, it don't seem as Asuch
'Cause I rather enjoyed F#myou
But I don't think it's wBmorth it
In need of yDou
[Verse 2]
So you call this a danAce
Well, I think it's a bF#moxing match
And you have the upper hBmand
I died to give you a rDing
I'd lay down on this Amat
If I thought we had a fighting cF#mhance
For keeping our pBmride and keeping the pDeace
[Chorus]
So dDo, do you love mF#me?
'Cause I don't wanna hear iBmt
It will only make things worsEeF#m  E  
YDou are so loveF#mly
Like a dagger draped in jewelry
The closBmer you get to my heart, the more it hurtEs
[Verse 3]
Don't wanna hear it from your lAips
Don't wanna see it in your eyF#mes
Don't wanna feel it in your kiBmss
Your spit, it tastes like wiDne
And it clouds my judgAement
It will steal my lF#mife
If I don't make this riBmght
If I don't get out toniDght
[Chorus]
So dDo, do you love meF#m?
'Cause I don't wanna hear iBmt
It will only make things worseE  F#m  E  
YDou are so loveF#mly
Like a dagger draped in jewelry
The clBmoser you get to my heart, the more it hurtEs
[Bridge]
And iDt's right there Ein youF#mr eyes
YF#mou see the warning Asigns too
But you would rather do nothingE  F#m  E  
And I donD't think it's rEighF#mt
To stF#may here when yEou're not Amine
Someone oAut there is losiAng out on loving yEouF#m  E  
[Chorus]
So Ddo, do you love F#mme?
Cause AI don't wanna hear itBm  
It will only make things worseE  F#m  E  
YDou are so loveF#mly
Like a daAgger draped in jewelry
The closBmer you get to my heaArt the more it hurtsE  
So dDo, do you love meF#m?
Cause AI don't wanna hear itBm  
It will only make things worseE  F#m  E  
Oh, yDou are so lovelyF#m  
Like a dAagger draped in jewelry
The cloBmser you get to my heaArt, the more it hurtsE  F#m  E

F#m

[Intro]

A F#m Bm E

[Verse 1]

So you say this is life

F#m

Well, I think that it's poison

It blackens my blood

And steals my breath

No, it don't seem as such

F#m

'Cause I rather enjoyed you

But I don't think it's worth it

In need of you

[Verse 2]

So you call this a dance

F#m

Well, I think it's a boxing match

And you have the upper hand

I died to give you a ring

I'd lay down on this mat

F#m

If I thought we had a fighting chance

Bm D

For keeping our pride and keeping the peace

[Chorus]

D F#m

So do, do you love me?

'Cause I don't wanna hear it

E F#m E

It will only make things worse

D F#m

You are so lovely

Like a dagger draped in jewelry

Bm E

The closer you get to my heart, the more it hurts

[Verse 3]

Don't wanna hear it from your lips

F#m

Don't wanna see it in your eyes

Don't wanna feel it in your kiss

Your spit, it tastes like wine

And it clouds my judgement

F#m

It will steal my life

If I don't make this right

If I don't get out tonight

[Chorus]

D F#m

So do, do you love me?

'Cause I don't wanna hear it

E F#m E

It will only make things worse

You are so lovely

Like a dagger draped in jewelry

The closer you get to my heart, the more it hurts

[Bridge]

D E F#m

And it's right there in your eyes

F#m A

You see the warning signs too

E F#m E

But you would rather do nothing

D E F#m

And I don't think it's right

F#m E A

To stay here when you're not mine

A A E F#m E

Someone out there is losing out on loving you

[Chorus]

So do, do you love me?

A Bm

Cause I don't wanna hear it

It will only make things worse

D F#m

You are so lovely

The closer you get to my heart, the more it hurts

Bm A

Still the closer you get, the more I think you're worth it
