[Intro]
Fm   Bb   Eb   Ab  Eb/G
Fm   Bb   Eb   Db   Cm
Eb         Bb                  Bbm
Put on my best dress, I wanted to impress
  Ab
I put a little make-up on
Eb              Bb                  Bbm
Put a bow in my hair, wore pretty underwear
Ab
Hoping you might take it off
Eb                 Bb               Bbm
Don't know your etiquette but I'm strapped to my chair
    Ab
And it ain't 'cos you're pretty
Eb                  Bb              Bbm
You were charming until you saw your chance to kill
     Ab
Your chance to make history
Fm                        Bb
You went straight for the knife
         Eb               Ab
And I prepared to die your blade it shines
Fm                        Bb
Looked me straight in the eye
               Eb            Db
You turned the gas on high, held the flame alight
  Cm              Eb
You wonder why I'm scared of fire
    Db             Ab
You wonder why you make girls cry
Eb           Bb                   Bbm
My mascara a mess, harsh words for your princess
Ab
Boy you and your promises
Eb                  Bb                 Bbm
If your goal was to love, you scored and epic miss
Ab
Now you'll just have memories
Fm                        Bb
You went straight for the knife
         Eb               Ab
And I prepared to die your blade it shines
Fm                        Bb
Looked me straight in the eye
               Eb            Db
You turned the gas on high, held the flame alight
  Cm              Eb
You wonder why I'm scared of fire
    Db             Ab
You wonder why you make girls cry
Bb      Ab           Cm
Boy you draw me back in
Bb             Ab         Cm
I'm hungry for your bad loving
Bb                       Ab                Eb Db Cm
But will someone find me swinging from the rafters
     Eb              Db    C5
From hanging on your every word
Fm                        Bb
You went straight for the knife
         Eb               Ab
And I prepared to die your blade it shines
Fm                        Bb
Looked me straight in the eye
               Eb            Db
You turned the gas on high, held the flame alight
  Cm              Eb
You wonder why I'm scared of fire
    Db             Ab
You wonder why you make girls cry
    Db             Ab
You wonder why you make girls cry
