Am               C      Fmaj7     Em    Riff 1
 While there's still a fighting chance
B7        Ebdim7         Em  Riff 2
Can't you just get up and go
Am        C    Fmaj7        Em     Riff 1
 And get away from this hollow romance
B7           Ebdim7    Em
It's slowly binding us both

(Em)         Am               C     Fmaj7    Em     Riff 1
 Because you tell me what you want and I'll avoid it
B7             Ebdim7           Em        Riff 2
Tell it to the sick and to the damned
Am               C     Fmaj7            Em  Riff 1
Show me what you love, watch me destroy it
              B7    Ebdim7         Em
For your love just crumbles in my hands

B7
            C
But if you stay for a while
                                G (Hammer down A-string)
I'll try to think of something kind to say
                 C
And maybe if we pray for a while
                B7
St. Jude might hear my pleas
                  B7
And see me on my knees
                         C
Because she knows how I adore you
              B7
We won't be fighting again tonight
                    C
Not if she knows I adore you
                  Em
Fighting in the streets

You wear your make-up like Baby Jane

She took him, two stepped me and made him a wife

Oh I know, and you know they'll crash an burn
