[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][G]
[C][F][G][C][F][G]

[Verse 1]
Look what [Am]you started,
I seem to be [F]coming out of [G]my skin
Look what you've for
[Am]gotten here
The bandages [F]just [C]don't keep [G]me in

[Verse 2]
And when [C]it [F]was[C] ov[F]er,[C]
[F]I woke u[C]p alone

[Verse 3]
[F]
And they [Am]cut me to r[G]ibbons
and [F]taught me [C]to drive
I got your [Am]name tat[G]tooed in[F]side of [C]my arm
I [Am]called for my [G]father but
my [F]father had [C]died
While you told me [F]fortunes,
in [G]American Slang
[C][F]

[Verse 4]
[G]
Look at [Am]the damage,
The fortunes [F]came [C]for the richer [G]men.
While we're left with [Am]gallows,
Waiting for us [C]liars to come
[G]down and hang.

[Verse 5]
And when it was [C]over,
[F]I w[C]oke[F] up[C] al[F]one
[C]

[Verse 6]
[F]
And they [Am]cut me to r[G]ibbons
and [F]taught me [C]to drive
I got your [Am]name tat[G]tooed in[F]side of [C]my arm
I [Am]called for my [G]father but
my [F]father had [C]died
While you told me [F]fortunes,
in [G]American Slang
[C]

[Verse 7]
[Am]
And here's where we
[G]died that time last year,
[F]And here's where the an
[C]gels and devils [Am]meet.
And you can [G]dance with
the queen if you [F]need,
And she will [C]al ways keep your [F]cards
Close to [G]her heart oo[C]h
So close to [F]her heart before
they tear you [G]apart
[C][G][F]

[Verse 8]
[G]When [Am]they cut me to [G]ribbons
and [F]taught me to [C]drive
I got your [Am]name tat[G]tooed
in[F]side of [C]my arm
[G]And [Am]I called for my [G]father
but [F]my father had [C]died
I [Am]called for my [G]father but
my [F]father had [C]died
While you told [F]me fortunes,
in [G]American [C]Slang
You told me [F]fortunes, in [G]American [C]Slang
