[N]
[G] Here it is again, yet [C] it's strange, like the first time, seems it [Em] never ends, [C] double nickels [G] on your dime.
I thought we were friends, [C] I guess it just depends who you ask.
These feelings tend to leave me with a hole in my chest, girl.
Oh, a [G] hole, [D] a hole in my [C] chest.
[G] Yeah, [Em] a hole, [C] a hole, a [G] hole [D] in my [C] chest.
[G] Now [Em] the time has come, I just [G] wish I could erase all [Em] the panic signs,
do your [G] name and you'll kill your tricks, only just be [C] gone, it's been fun, [G] we were blind, half and dumb.
There's a party [C] in my closet, [G]
calling all skeletons,
[Em] I'll [C] take [G]
you, [D] all skeletons.
[C] [G]
[C] Calling Laura, do [Em] you know, [G] once the lights went black?
[C] Look what's become of me, I'm [Em] running out, we all [Bm]
disappearing,
next [G] to one more pretty [B]
please.
[C] [G]
[D] [C] [G]
Yeah, the [Em] time has come, I just wish [G] I could erase all the [Em] panic signs,
do your name [G] and you'll kill your tricks, only [Em] just be gone, it's been fun, [G] we were blind, [D] half and dumb.
[Em] There's a killer on the corner [G] and he's looking for a lover.
[C] Lo-oh [G]-oh-ow, [D] looking for a [C] lover, [G]
yeah, he's [C] looking for a lover.
Do your name [Em] and you'll kill, [G] once the lights went [C] black,
Look what's become of me, I'm [Em] running out, we [D] all disappearing,
next [G] to one more [B] pretty please.
[C] And the day of [D] the truth I lost my [Em] faith in you,
I gotta stop [Bm] speaking of [G] vomit
[C] And these [D] unspoken lies appear at the [Em] worst times
I gotta stop speaking [Bm] of vomit
[C] I [D] need just me and [Em] you
[C] [G]

[Em] [C] [G]
[D] [C] [G]

[B] Where did [Em] you go?
[G] Once the lights went black
[C] Look what became of me
I'm gonna love you if you [F#] just leave me next
[C] You were sweet with me
[Em] Once [G] the lights went [C] black
You nearly gave us a heart attack
[Em] We caught you by your sweat [F#m]
mouth taxi
[G] You gotta stop [B] speaking of vomit
[C] You gotta stop speaking of vomit
