Am
Call me a thief
F
There's been a robbery
G
I left with her heart
Tore it apart
D
Made no apologies
Am
I've been living in the darkness
F
Shadows in my apartment, heartless
G
Taking love just to spill it on parchment
D
Next page and I'm out again
Am
I've been living in the night life
F
Lips hit you like a drive by, frost bite
G
Ice cold, I mean they cut you like a sharp knife

Next page and I'm out again

Skin on my skin, what a wonderful sin

Take your breath but you're asking for more

The tip of my finger is tracing your figure

I say good night and walk out the door

Call me a thief

I left with her heart
Tore it apart

Just call me a thief

She was on top of me

Then I left with her heart
Broken and scarred

Made no apologies
Am
We can be so hollow
F
Like my rib cage, the echoes follow
G
Follow me like the fears I swallow
D
And drown in all my mistakes
Am
All I know is that your skin bled
Like the ink dripped from my pen
F G
My bed will be drenched in a scarlet rose red
D
And drown in all my mistakes
Am F
Skin on my skin, what a wonderful sin

Take your breath but you're asking for more

The tip of my finger is tracing your figure
