Verse 1:
Em
I could corrupt you
C D
in a heart beat
Em
you think your so special
C D
think your so sweet
Em
what are you trying
C D
don't even tempt me
Em
soon you'll be crying
C D
unwishing you dreamt of me
 
Chorus:
C Am D F Em
you'll be calling out my name
C Am D F Em
when you need someone to blame
 
(the rest of the song uses the same chords, in all parts)
 
Verse 2:
i could corrupt you
it would be easy
watching you suffer
god, it would please me
 
i wanna touch you
with my little finger
i know it will crush you
my memory would linger
 
Chorus:
you'd be crying out in pain
begging me to play my games
 
Verse 3:
i could corrupt you
it will be ugly
they could sedate you
but what good could drugs be
 
i wanna touch you
with my hands on your hips
it would be too much to
place my lips on your lips
 
Chorus:
you'll be calling out my name
begging me to play my games
 
(and for the outro, just use the verse chords)
