G                              Am  
I took my blade, and I cut him deep 
        C 
And the blood bloomed red on his crisp white shirt 
                         G 
For your party guests to see 

I could've run in the night 
                           Am  
I could've slit his throat in his sleep 
      C   
But I wanted you to see 
                  G  
The company you keep 

  D                                           C 
I thought we went together like violence on a balmy night 
          D                                G      C 
I thought being alone with a violent man made you feel alright 
Em              G 
Can we get away tonight? 
G  
And your father said follow the money to the source 
                    Am  
That's what life is all about 
                   C           Em 
Then you fuck the source 
                    G  
Till the money comes out 

D 
You say that I'm a brute 
C 
Cause I fell faster than you 
D 
But I've got a heart that's true 
            C                     Em  
And there's nothing that I won't do 
                  G 
To get away with you 


Solo: G Am C Em G  


D 
Smile lights the slander in her eyes 
           C 
She's the dark clouds swirling in my skies 
           D 
And the cocktail chatter all starts to dim 
           C 
Like a doppler away from me she spins 
          D 
On a bloom light sea she starts to swim 
          C                      Em  
She betrayed me, all now on a whim 
                   G  
To get away with him 

G 
I took my blade 
                             Am  
But I couldn't get it all to drain 
        C                              Em 
I could see him bleeding differently 
                          G  
Like teardrops in the rain
