[Verso 1]
 
E                                      Asus2 
 A soft, smart smile from across the room 
                           Bsus4 
But subtlety looks bad on you 
                              Asus2 
Come kiss me like you have something to prove 
E                             Asus2 
My eyes were begging, like a dog on all fours 
            Bsus4                                    Asus4    E 
I wanna be yours, so ready your claws to leave your marks on me 
 


[Pré-Refrão]
 
                   Asus2 
And so here we are now 
                             Bsus4 
You put your fingers to my mouth 
                    Asus2            E 
I said, "Don't you dare say it out loud" 
                                   A 
But when have you been one to listen? 
                                       
You put me up on the bench in the kitchen 
                          A 
And it slips from your mouth 
                        E 
You're in love with me now 
 


[Refrão]
 
                         A 
You said it once, only once 
                        
I'm the love of your life 
                         A 
It hit me right in the ribs 
              E 
Like a meteorite 
                        A 
Only once, but it was once 
                  
And once was enough 
                     A 
You were ready to fight 
                  E 
I was ready to love

                     A 
I let you see my wounds 
                        
And my scars, and my skin 
                             A 
'Cause you promised me the world 
                     E 
And your heart and sins 
                                A 
You did more than scratch the surface of my ice 
Bsus4                           A                 E 
So, God, it killed me when you gave me up last night 
 


[Refrão]
 
                          A 
You said it once, only once 
                        
I'm the love of your life 
                         A 
It hit me right in the ribs 
              E 
Like a meteorite 
                        A 
Only once, but it was once 
                  
And once was enough 
                  A 
I was ready to fight 
                  E A 
You were ready to run 
 


[Ponte]
 
           A E Asus2 
Ready to run 
          Bsus2 Asus2 E 
Ready to run

                        Asus2 
You said it once, only once 
                      Bsus2 
I'm the love of your life 
                             Asus2 
It cut me right through the bone 
                       E 
When you twisted the knife 
                         Asus2 
Only once, but it was once 
               Bsus2 
And once was enough 
                       Asus2 
You weren't ready to fight 
                E 
I was ready to love 
             Esus2       Asus2 
You said it once, only once 
                      Bsus2 
I'm the love of your life 
                             Asus2 
You struck me right in the soul 
                    E 
Like an arrowhead might 
                                  A 
You loved me once, but, God, it cuts 
                     
'Cause I wasn't enough 
                  A 
I was ready to fight 
                     N.C 
You weren't ready to love
