Verse 1:
    F                  Eb
She cuts you once, she cuts you twice

But still you believe
    Am                        Dm
The wound is so fresh you can taste the blood

You've been bought, you've been sold
            Dm                 Bb
You've been locked outside the door
        Am
But you stand there pleadin',
          Dm
With your insides bleedin',

'Cause you deep down want some more
