Intro Am G F E x2
verse 1
Am G
"Come on in, boy," said the skeletons sitting by her closet door
F E
Dirty secrets, empty memories, and broken hearts across the floor
Am
I was knocked out, heels over head
G
So you dragged me by my feet
F
To a ghost town, where you buried me
E
No wonder no one heard my screams
Am G
Love's so alive, but it died in its sleep
F
And now that it's dead, I live in your head and
* E
I will haunt your fucking dreams
Chorus
Am G F
No one will love you like I did, will treat you like I did
E
So go on, wear that scarlet letter
Am G F
No one will love you like I did, will touch you like I did
E
So good luck finding something better
verse 2
Am G
Run away, boy, if you couldn't tell, baby's got a thirst for blood
F E
A subtle system, wicked melodies, craving bullets from her gun
Am G
So entranced they, follow every word, little spirals in their eyes
F E
Catch a lover, turn an enemy just to watch them burn alive
Chorus
Am G F
No one will love you like I did, will treat you like I did
E
So go on, wear that scarlet letter
Am G F
No one will love you like I did, will touch you like I did
E
So good luck finding something better
Bridge
Am G F
Someday you may find that picture perfect guy
E Am
And I'll chase my words with poison
G F
Until that day arrives, and swine take to the sky,
E
Fill your void with open thighs so,
Chorus
* Am G F
No one will love you like I did, will treat you like I did
E
So go on, wear that scarlet letter
Am G F
No one will love you like I did, will touch you like I did
E
So good luck finding something better
Am G F
No one will love you like I did, will treat you like I did
E
So go on, wear that scarlet letter
