C#m         
I've got a book of matches

A          F#m
I've got a can of kerosene

C#m                       A        F#m
I've got some bad ideas involving you and me

C#m
I don't blame you for walking away

    A                F#m
I touched myself had thoughts of flames

 C#m 
I shat the bed and laid there in it

 A              F#m             C#m (INTRO RIFF) A
Thinking of you wide awake for days

F#m
Wide awake for days

C#m - A - F#m


C#m                         A        F#m
And I found you tongue-tied in my twisted little brain

C#m
You couldn't crack a smile

A         F#m
I didn't catch your name

C#m
I don't blame you for walking away

    A             F#m
I'd do the same if I saw me

C#m 
I swear it's not contagious

              A            B
In four short steps we can erase this

E
Step one -- slit my throat
     
     A                     B 
Step two -- play in my blood

E                                              A                   B
Step three -- cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house

E                                              A                 B
Step four -- stop off at Edgebrook Creek and rinse your crimson hands

A                       B
You took me hostage and made your demands

A                            B                         C#m
I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one

(INTRO RIFF) C#m - A - F#m


REPEAT 

I'm like a broken record
I've got a needle scratching me
It injects the poison of alcohol I.V.
I don't blame you for walking away
I'd do the same if I saw me
I swear it's not contagious
I swear to God it's not contagious

Step one -- slit my throat
Step two -- play in my blood
Step three -- cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
Step four -- stop at Lake Michigan and rinse your crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one

C#m                  A          F#m
This could be love - love for fire

C#m                  A         F#m
This could be love - love for fire

C#m                  A         F#m
This could be love - love for fire

C#m                    A       B
This could be love for fire forevermore

Step one -- slit my throat
Step two -- play in my blood
Step three -- cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
Step four -- stop at Berkeley Marina and rinse your crimson hands
You took me hostage and made your demands
I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one
One by one
