[Refrão]
N.C A Am
You're a killer, but I don't blame you
D
I guess you have to kill a few
Dm
When you're as cutthroat as you are
A Am
Said you loved me and I don't doubt that
D
I doubt the shaking of your hands
Dm
As you pushed the needle down into my neck
 
[Verso 1]
Esus2 A
First, you moved away
Am D
You left me starving in the august heat
Dm A
Chowing down on the dirt you walked on
 
[Refrão]
Am
But I don't blame you
D
I guess you have to starve a few
Dm
When you're as bloated as you are
A
It was fine in better times
Am
When you pulled thorns out of my feet
D
And fought off bears that threatened me
Dm
And let me ride in your front seat
 
[Verso 2]
Esus2 A
Oh, you put me so down
Am D Dm
So low, these lumps of body melted with the ground
A Am
Imaginary friend, that's all I can be
D Dm A
Just floating inside your bad dreams
 
[Refrão]
Am
But I don't blame you
D
You choke me, you play cruel
But I don't blame you
Dm
I grinned through it all
N.C.
I was your good dog
