[C] [C7] [Em] [C] [C7] [Em] [G] Sometimes [C]I think I’m a killer [C7] [Em]Scared you in your house Even [C]scared myself by talking [C7]About [Em]Dahmer on your [G]couch

But I can’t [C]sleep next to a body [C7]Even [Em]harmless in death Plus I’m [C]pretty sure I’d miss you [C7]Faking [Em]sleep to count your [G]breath

Can the [F]killer in [C]me, tame the [E7]fire in [F]you? Is there [F]nothing [C]left to do for [G]us? [G7] I am [F]sick of [C]the chase, but I’m [E7]hungry for [F]blood And there’s [F]nothing [Fm]I can do

[C] [C7] [Em] [C] [C7] [Em] [G] [G7] But [C]when I’m sick and tired, [C7]when my [Em]mind is barely there When a [C]machine keeps me alive, [C7]and I’m [Em]losing all my [G]hair

[F]I hope you kiss my rotten head, and pull [Am]the plug Know that [F]I’ve burned every playlist And [F]given [G]all my love [G7]

Can the [F]killer [C]in me, tame the [E7]fire in [F]you? I [F]know there’s [F]something [C]waiting for[G]us [G7] I am [F]sick of [C]the chase, but I’m [E7]stupid in [F]love And there’s [F]nothing [Fm]I can do [C] And there’s [F]nothing [Fm]I can do
