  ( G# Riff )   G#   F#   A#

Verse 1:
          G# Riff
You might kill me with desire
Wind me tighter than a wire

It's something that you do to me
                G#       F#
I run away like mercury

      G# Riff
And I know you think it's rough

When you're tryna patch us up

And I say honey what is love?
                G#             A#
You just say I drink too much

Chorus: (Strike bracketed chords twice, strum the rest)

B
Maybe I'm defective
         (C#) G#
Or maybe I'm dumb
     F#                            E
I'm sorry, so sorry for what I've done

B
Maybe I'm bad natured
         (C#) G#
Or maybe I'm young
     F#                            E
I'm sorry, so sorry for what I've done


Verse 2: (Same as first verse but stlightly different rhythm)

            G# Riff
And I'm the t-shirt that I wear

I'm take the thorns out of my hair

I broke your heart so carelessly
                    G#          F#
But made the pieces part of me

           G# Riff
And now it hurts what we've become

'Cause you taught me how to love

It's me who taught you how to stop
                   G#             A#
And you just say I drink too much

Chorus 2:

B
Maybe I'm defective
         (C#) G#
Or maybe I'm dumb
     F#                            E
I'm sorry, so sorry for what I've done

B
Maybe I'm bad natured
         (C#) G#
Or maybe I'm young
     F#                            E
I'm sorry, so sorry for what I've done
