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.

(C)You tossed it in the trash; you did.

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

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

You know (C)I’d do an y thing for ya.

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

take a (F)bul let straight (A7)through my brain.

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

No, no, no, no.

(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 wom an, bad wom an; 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 (A7)dar ling, I’d still catch a gre nade for ya,

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

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

You know (C)I’d do an y thing for ya.

Ooh,

I would (Bbmaj7)go through all this pain,

(F)take a bul let (A7)straight through my (Dm)brain.

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

No, you won’t do the same.

You would n’t do the same.

Ooh, you nev er do the same,

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.

Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
