Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Am][F][Am][F][Am][F]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
I've got [Am]a book of [F]matches
I've got [Dm]a can of ker[Am]osene
I've got some bright ideas
[F]involving you[Dm] and me
I don't [Am]blame you for walking away
[F]I touch myself at [Dm]thoughts of flames
I [Am]shat the bed and laid there in it
[F]Thinking of you [Dm]wide awake
[Am]for [A5]days[Am][F]
Wide awake [Am]for days
[F]

[Verse 2]
[Am]
And I found you tongue [F]tied
In my [Dm]twisted little [Am]brain
You couldn't crack a [F]smile
I barely [Dm]caught your name
I don't [Am]blame you for walking away
I'd [F]do the same if I [Dm]saw me
I [Am]swear it's not contagious
In four [F]short steps we can [Dm]erase this

[Verse 3]
[C]Step one: slit my throat
Step [F]two: play in my [G]blood
Step [C]three: cover me in dirty sheets
And run [F]laughing out of the [G]house
[C]Step four: stop off at Edgebrook Creek
And [F]rinse your crimson [G]hands
[F]You took me hostage and
[G]made your demands
[F]I couldn't meet them so
you [G]cut off my fingers
One by [Am]one[F]

[Interlude 1]
One by one
[Am][F][Am]

[Verse 4]
I'm like a [Am]broken [F]record
I've got a [Dm]needle scratching [Am]me
It injects the [F]poison of alco[Dm]hol I.V.
I don't [Am]blame you for walking away
I'd [F]do the same if I [Dm]saw me
I [Am]swear it's not contagious
I swear to [F]god it's not conta[Dm]gious

[Verse 5]
[C]Step one: slit my throat
Step [F]two: play in my [G]blood
Step [C]three: cover me in dirty sheets
And run [F]laughing out of the [G]house
[C]Step four: stop at lake Michigan
And [F]rinse your crimson [G]hands
[F]You took me hostage you
[G]made your demands
[F]I couldn't meet them so
you [G]cut off my fingers
One by [Am]one
One by one
[C][F]

[Verse 6]
[Am]
This could be love (love for fire)
This could be love (love
[C]for[F] fir[Am]e)
This could be love (love
[C]for[F] fir[Am]e)
This could be love
For [F]fire [G]forevermore

[Verse 7]
[C]Step one: slit my throat
Step [F]two: play in my [G]blood
Step [C]three: cover me in dirty sheets
And run [F]laughing out of the [G]house
[C]Step four: stop at Berkeley Marina
[F]Rinse your crimson [G]hands
[F]You took me hostage and
[G]made your demands
[F]I couldn't meet them so
you [G]cut off my fingers
One by [C]one[F]
[G]One by [C]one

[Outro 1]
One by one
