Lyrics

(Dm)Eas y come, eas y go; that’s just how you live.

Oh, (Am)take, take, take it all, but you nev er give.

(Dm)Should ’ve known you was trou ble from the first kiss; had your (Am)eyes wide o pen.

(CN.C.)Why were they o pen?

(Dm)Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash.

You tossed it in the trash; you did.

To give me all your love is all I ev er asked, ’cause what you don’t un der stand (CN.C.)is, I’d catch a gre nade for ya,

throw my (C)hand on a blade for ya.

I’d jump in (C)front of a train for ya.

You know I’d (C)do an y thing for ya.

Oh, (C)oh, I would (Bbmaj7)go through all this pain,

take a (F)bul let straight (A)through my brain.

(C)Yes, I would die for you, ba by, (CN.C.)but you won’t do the same.

(Dm)Black, black, black and blue; beat me ’til I’m numb; tell the (Am)dev il I said, “Hey,” when you get back to where you’re from.

(Dm)Mad wo man, bad wo man; that’s just what you are.

Yeah, you’ll (Am)smile in my face, then rip the (A)brakes out my car.

If my bod y was on fi re,

ooh, you’d watch me burn down in flames.

You said you loved me; you’re a li ar, ’cause you (A5)nev er, ev er, ev er did, ba by.

But (Am)dar (CN.C.)ling, I’d still catch a gre nade for ya,

throw my (C)hand on a blade for ya.

I’d jump in (C)front of a train for ya.

You know I’d (C)do an y thing for ya.

Ooh,

I would (Bb)go through all this pain,

take a (F)bul let straight (A)through my brain.

(C)Yes, I would die for you, ba by, (CN.C.)but you won’t do the same.
