[Intro]
Am  C  F  C
[Verse 1]
AmI wanna see you Cfight for the hell of it
FPulling out your knife in the Cstreet light
Shining, so Amdull on the glitter that Cflickers like lightning
FBouncing off the back of your Cblade
[Verse 2]
AmI wanna see some Cblood on your fingernails
FClawing at the club lines, Cvanity
There's a Ampretty face in there, too Csmart for her own good
You're Fbound to put her in her Cplace
[Chorus 1]
And on the Emshort ride home, we'll Amk-hole in the taxi
I don't Fwanna feel a thing at Call
I've been Emlosing all my lovers
Is Amthis what you wanted, FMadeleineC?
[Verse 3]
AmI wanna get fucked Cup like a holiday
FSpending half my night in the Cpouring rain
Oh, I wanna Amnumb my fingers and Cnumb my brain
Til I Fcan't feel anything at Call
[Verse 4]
AmI wanna stay this Cdrunk, wanna celebrate
FMoving bar to bar like a Cslow parade
Oh, I wanna Amride like lightning and Ccrash like thunder
Riding Fdown the tracks in our Cveins
[Chorus 2]
I got that Emsick, sick feeling to Amhurt somebody
Babe, I Fthink there's something wrong in my Cbrain
I've been Emlosing all my lovers
Is Amthis what you wanted, FMadeleineC?
[Break]
Am  C  F  C
Am  C  F  C
Am  C  F  C
Am  C  F  C
[Chorus/Outro]
And the Emsun has been out since I've Ambeen coming down
I don't know Fhow much more I can Ctake
I've been Emlost, I've been found, Amasleep on the couch
Just Fwaiting for the light to Cfade
And I'm Emtrying to work out our Amwandering doubt
Oh, Floving you is hard someCdays
I've been Emlosing all my lovers
Is Amthis what you wanted, FMadeleineC?
I've been Emlosing all my lovers
Is Amthis what you wanted, FMadeleineC?
