All you are is black ink on blue lines

But all I am is one notch in a bedpost

Or at most the ghost that keeps you warm

Just the ghost
verse 2
Cm Eb
We went searching for some comfort by using one another
Bb Gm Eb
Both needing lovers of some sort, but it was vile and it was cheap
F Gm F Eb
And we trade for what we need with words and curves behind closed doors
[Refrão] Gm Eb
I bought the lines I needed from you
Bb F
Slippin' out of that dress and my high heel shoes
Gm Eb Bb
I guess I needed my fix too
Gm Eb
I spent the nights, oh, you spent your words
Bb F
And we both got hooked, we both got burned
Gm
'Cause I move the way that you like
Eb
And you fed me your best lines
Cm Eb F Cm Eb Bb
And we took one more hit of skin and script
Cm Eb Bb

You lose me in your sleep tucked beneath the same sheets that shelter my bare skin

And I lose my mind when I rewind every time I tasted your sweat I breathed your heat in

'Cause the only way you keep me warm now is burning lyrics I wrote down
Gm F
[Refrão] Gm Eb
And I bought the lines I needed from you
Bb F
Slippin' out of that dress and my high heel shoes
Gm Eb Bb
I guess I needed my fix too
Gm Eb
I spent the night and smoked your words
Bb F
'Til we both got high, we all got worse

'Cause I love you like you needed
Eb
And you became my addiction
Cm
Sweet and sick
Eb F Cm Eb
With one more hit of skin and script
