Featuring Sabotage & Bebe Rexha
πΈ Intro:
Em C
Why do I sabotage everything I love?
G Bm
It's always beautiful until I mess it up
πΈ Verse 1:
Em
It's like you don't believe in love, so we lost the touch
C
It's like you wanna cross wires just to cut 'em off
G
It's like you made the metal just so you can see the rust
Bm
Like you want the tick, tick, boom just to self-destruct
Em
And I ain't sitting here waiting for you to detonate
C
Pulling pins on hand grenades and going in for a hug
G
Building bridges so you can blow 'em up
D
I can't be your life support if all you do is really wanna pull the plug
C
I put myself into this spiral, but you're the one that's twisted
Em
It g ts hard 'cause I see poison mixed up with a vixen
G
But list n, it's my fault 'cause I love the chase
Bm
All you do is give me three letters, you go MIA
πΈ Chorus:
Em C
Why do I sabotage everything I love?
G Bm
It's always beautiful until I mess it up
Em C
Why do I sabotage everything I love?
G Bm
The walls are closin' in because I built them up
πΈ Verse 2:
Em
There's a part of me that thinks you love being broken
C
You built the walls up then tear them down just to see the motion
G
And that train of thought really put me off track
Bm
Had me thinking 'bout my ex like we talkin' 'bout maths
Em
Three strikes but you still wanna throw a curveball
C
This hit my turn-off, leave the car turned on
G
I'mma hop out 'cause I'm sick of wasting my breath
D
Clip my wings, tell me to fly, that's your butterfly effect
C
When the crew broke out and the room no sound
Em
Your silent thoughts can't tell me what to do right now
G
Chinese whispers going to make the half of me to ever listen
Bm
You sabotage the image so don't ask me for forgiveness
πΈ Chorus:
Em C
Why do I sabotage everything I love?
G Bm
It's always beautiful until I mess it up
Em C
Why do I sabotage everything I love?
G Bm
The walls are closin' in because I built them up
πΈ Bridge:
Am
So don't let me hope too high
Em
Don't let me hope too high
D Bm
'Cause I will find a way to tear it down every time
Am
Don't let me hope too high
Em
When everything is right
D Bm
'Cause I will find a way to tear it down every time
Em C
I sabotage (Why you sabotage ) everything I love (Everything I loved)
G Bm
It's always beautiful until I mess it up
πΈ Chorus:

Why do I sabotage everything I love?

Why do I sabotage?
