[G] on [D] _ _ my shirt, two red buttons, [G] he killed me that time.

Petals are bruised but [A] I'm still fly, [D] I could run into you [G] and fight it out.
[G] Put your skinny [A] arms around me, let me [D] taste your skin.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Mouth to mouth, mouth to mouth, [G] salty and sweet, [A] give me power.
[D] I feel you shake under my lips, [G] your fingers [F#m] tender, [A] find [D] my seat.
Don't make a sound, don't cry out loud, [G] your parents are sleeping [A] just above.
[D] I kiss you once, I kiss you twice, [G] fall asleep [A] looking in each other's eyes. _
