[Verse 1]
Am
You choke my throat
C
With words of wonder
F Dm7
You make it hard to breathe
Am
Your love's so cold
C
Just like an arrow
F C
Pierced through my skin, I bleed
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
I knew you were no angel
Am Em
But gosh, what did I do?
F E
Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Am
Do you remember what I said
C
That first time we met?
F Dm7
Stay away, why couldn't you stay away?
Am
I never needed anyone
C
But now that you are gone
F Dm7
Stay away, won't you just stay away?
[Bridge 1]
Am
Taking all my light and blocking out my vision
C
Bad little girl you have trapped in the prison
F
On my hands, on my knees, pulled on the chains
Dm7
Licking up the blood, yeah, I made this decision
[Verse 2]
Am
You took my light
C
Trapped in the prison
F Dm7
You threw away the key
Am
You are the curse
C
I am the captive
F C
Walking on hands and knees
D7
Never learn, never learn, never learn
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
I knew you were no angel
Am Em
But gosh, you're just electric blue
F E
Oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
Am
Do you remember what I said
C
That first time we met?
F Dm7
Stay away, why couldn't you stay away?
Am
I never needed anyone
C
But now that you are gone
F Dm7
Stay away, won't you just stay away?
[Bridge 2]
Am C F
Stay away, stay away, stay away, stay away, stay away
Dm7
Stay away, stay away, stay away, stay away, stay away
Am C F
Stay away, stay away, stay away, stay away, stay away
Dm7
Stay away, stay away, stay away, stay away, stay away
[Verse 3]
Am
I climbed the wall
C
To touch your shadow
F Dm7
I hear you call for me
Am
But you're not there
C
You're just an echo
F C
Why did you fall for me?
[Chorus]
Am
Do you remember what I said
C
That first time we met?
F Dm7
Stay away, why couldn't you stay away?
Am
I never needed anyone
C
But now that you are gone
F C
Stay away, won't you just stay away?
[Bridge 1]
Am
Taking all my light and blocking out my vision
C
Bad little girl you have trapped in the prison
F Dm7
Stay away, why couldn't you stay away?
Am
Taking all my light and blocking out my vision
C
Bad little girl you have trapped in the prison
F C
Stay away, Won't you just stay away?
