C D
I wanted her to be my wife
G
I wanted her to want that life
Bm
It ended the same way it started
C
Behind the door, holding that knife
C C Asus4m
While I'm happy, I was wrong and mislead
C D G
She took me to your lipstick fire engine red
C D
You were brighter than a neon sea
G
of signs that say "no vacancy"
Bm
The few brave men you've let check in
C
still brag about the times they've been
C D
Over the limit, drunk on wine
G
Below the Mason Dixon line
Bm
I promised that I'd start to pray
C
if the police looked the other way
C C Asus4m
And I didn't go to jail, wind up dead
C D G
I prayed each night for your lips fire engine red
C D
They said: "You cannot clear a jump that wide
G
A stunt like that is suicide"
Bm
But when I got the courage to
C
I spent the night alone with you
C D
I think I'm the luckiest guy
G
I used to be too numb to cry
Bm
I don't know how I timed this right
C
You're just the prettiest sight
C C Asus4m
In the movies people change when they bled
C D G
Inside my veins your lipstick's fire engine red
C D
I must admit I'm insecure
G
That's what all those women were for
Bm
I don't wanna be who I am
C
If nobody else gives a damn
C D
We've been together 'bout a year
G
I can't say that don't bring me fear
Bm
I'm scared to come home every night
C
I'm scared to keep the checkbook tight
C C Asus4m
Renting movies in your room, in your bed
C D G
You kissed my cheek, with lipstick fire engine red
C D
You always wear the same perfume
G
It reminds you of the hotel room
Bm
The one in which I swore I knew
C
I'd spent the rest (of) my life with you
C D
But I tell you "you should take it off
G
I don't wanna smell like that stuff"
Bm
Sometimes my heart it gets so dark
C
You sit and watch it fall apart
C C Asus4m
Run a needle through what's left, tie the thread
C D G
Don't let me leave your lipstick fire engine red
C D
What's two people supposed to do
G
When restlessness gets hold of you
Bm
I'm drowning in my drinking cup
C
I can't, I will not give you up
C D
But if flowers never stay and bloom
G
I'd do we in a one bed room
Bm
We're both victims to our fear
C
I'll be a man and hold you near
C C Asus4m
If you leave me, you'll survive in my head
C D G
I won't forget your lipstick's fire engine red
