Verse 1:
    G                         D
I'm living with a knife in my side
          A                      Bm
I'm gonna take it for a joy ride
    A             G
You left when you gave it
              D                 A
What criminal training, a sorry curse
            G                    D
And they're daring me to pull it out
              A                      Bm
I'll probably keep it for a lifetime
     A        G                          D
I'll probably name it, then care for and claim it
              A
That's how it works

Chorus:
     G      D
When you go ruin my life
Bm                     A
In the worst way right at the wrong time
     G        D              A
When I'd have followed you blind, mm
         G       D
And then I'll go out of my mind
F#m                 Bm            A
Shifting my weight over the cliff side
    G                  D             A
I'm takin' my chances, rolling the dice
 
 
Post-Chorus:
                        G
Should be the last time
D                       A
Should be the last time
Bm            A         G
Should be the last time
D                        A
Should be thе last time (Yeah)
 
 
Verse 2:
        G                            D
And I'm living with the ghost of you like
              A                     Bm
You'rе riding shotgun on my long drives
     A         G                  D
It's your destination, your radio station
             A
Your song, rehearsed, oh-woah
        G
They're daring me to kick you out, oh
D             F#m             Bm
I'll probably feel you 'til I die
    A          G                  D
But I'll never face you or ever replace you
           A
It doesn't work
 
 
Chorus:
       G      D
'Cause you go ruin my life
Bm                  A
Flatten my days and wrecking my nights
     G       D           A
I'll be here doing my time, oh
         G       D
And, oh, I'll go out of my mind
F#m                  Bm           A
Banging my cage, and crossing the line
G                     D           A
I'll never get it out if I never try
 
 
Post-Chorus:
                             G
This should be the last time
    A          Em    A
'Ime ('Ime), 'ime, 'ime
                          G
This should be the last time
 
 
Bridge:
                 A
We know it won't when you're
              Em
Holding court from your pedestal
A
Can't you come down?
    G                   A
And showing no remorse, you're impossible
Em                   A
I was strong before I got knocked down
 
 
Chorus:
    G        D
And you just ruined my life
Bm                   A
Knowing that I'll be further from fine
    G         D            A
I'm all bark, never would bite, ooh
G         D
I've gone out of my mind
F#m                Bm
Pouring my case of kerosene
A       G                      D                 A
I'll be burning this down, but keeping your knife
 
This won't be the last time
