• Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
A F#m Bm E

Verse 1:
                   A
So you say this is life
                         F#m
Well, I think that it's poison
               Bm
It blackens my blood
              D
And steals my breath
                     A
No, it don't seem as such
                        F#m
'Cause I rather enjoyed you
                        Bm
But I don't think it's worth it
            D
In need of you

Verse 2:
                      A
So you call this a dance
                      F#m
Well, I think it's a boxing match
                       Bm
And you had the upper hand
                      D
I died to give you a ring
                       A
Are they down on this mat?
                                F#m
If I thought we had a fighting chance
                 Bm                    D
For keeping our pride and keeping the peace

Chorus:
    D               F#m
So do, do you love me?
                           Bm
'Cause I don't wanna hear it
                             E  F#m E
It will only make things worse
 D             F#m
You are so lovely

Like a dagger dripped in jewelry
        Bm                                      E
The closer you get to my heart, the more it hurts

Verse 3:
                               A
Don't wanna hear it from your lips
                             F#m
Don't wanna see it in your eyes
                              Bm
Don't wanna feel it in your kiss
                            D
Your spit, it tastes like wine
                     A
And it clouds my judgement
                  F#m
It will steal my life
                       Bm
If I don't make this right
                       D
If I don't get out tonight

Chorus:
    D                F#m
So do, do you love me?
                           Bm
'Cause I don't wanna hear it
                              E F#m E
It will only make things worse
 D             F#m
You are so lovely

Like a dagger dripped in jewelry
      Bm                                        E
The closer you get to my heart, the more it hurts

Bridge:
     D               E     F#m
And it's right there in your eyes
 F#m                A
You see the warning signs too
                               E F#m E
But you would rather do nothing
         D              E  F#m
And I don't think it's right
     F#m           E         A
To stay here when you're not mine
         A               A              E    F#m E
Someone out there is losing out our loving

Chorus:
   D               F#m
So do, do you love me?
      A                    Bm
Cause I don't wanna hear it
                              E F#m E
It will only make things worse
 D             F#m
You are so lovely
         A
Like a dagger dripped in jewelry
        Bm                  A                   E
The closer you get to my heart the more it hurts

    D                F#m
So do, do you love me?
      A                    Bm
Cause I don't wanna hear it
                              E F#m E
It will only make things worse
     D               F#m
Oh, you are so lovely
        A
Like a dagger dripped in jewelry
       Bm                   A                     E F#m E
The closer you get to my heart, the more it hurts
            Bm                  A
Still the closer you get, the more I think you're worth it
