Verse 1:
A             F#m
Just 'cause I bought a Band-Aid
G            Bm                    A
Doesn't mean I'm able to clean the scars that run
            F#m
Deeper than all my old demons that
  G                Bm
I keep under still water

A               F#m
Just 'cause you give me flowers
G                    Bm
Doesn't cover up the smell of the dead body
   A
Or raise the dead body
     F#m               G             Bm
Of a girl who got shot down before

A               F#m
Just 'cause you cracked the window
G
Doesn't mean I'm able to
Bm                    A
Clear the air that my heart breathes
       G               Bm
Before you came around here

A               F#m
Just 'cause you say you love me
G
Doesn't mean that I'm
      Bm
Gonna look you in the eyes
A             F#m
Pretend to be surprised
                     G
And say "I love you" back
(Love you back)

Pre-Chorus:
          D
Cause I'm tripping, 'trippin on rocks
              G                           Bm
Cuttin' on my ankles where I know the blood stops
D
Blue Blue Knees
                G            Bm
Fallin' for the next man who breathes

Chorus:
         D         A
I need a band-aid recovery
G                                 Bm                  D
Don't get too close 'cause you're really nothing to me
              A         G      Bm
You're just a Band-Aid on my knees
D             A        G
You're just a band-aid recovery
     Bm                 G
I'll rip you off when I bleed
     D                  A
I'll rip you off when I bleed

Verse 2:
A               F#m
Just 'cause I'm coming over
G                        Bm
Doesn't mean I'll be there when you wake up
       A
'Cause coming over doesn't
F#m                G         Bm
Mean that I'm over him

A               F#m
Just 'cause you are my band-aid
G                          Bm
Doesn't mean I want you to stick around
        A                 F#m
Cause rebounds get washed away
                 G          Bm
The next time it rains

Pre-Chorus:
          D
Cause I'm tripping, 'trippin on rocks
              G                           Bm
Cuttin' on my ankles where I know the blood stops
D
Blue Blue Knees

Don't get too close 'cause you're really nothing to me
              A         G      Bm
You're just a Band-Aid on my knees
D             A        G
You're just a band-aid recovery
     Bm                 G
I'll rip you off when I bleed
     D                  A
I'll rip you off when I bleed
