Full Song

Verse 1

 
Am C
Know that I loved you so bad
G
I let you treat me like that
F
I was your willing accomplice, honey
Am C
And I watched as you fled the scene
G F
Doe-eyed as you buried me
 

Chorus

 
Am C G
And one heart broke, four hands bloody
F
That’s a pretty painful price just to be free
Am C
Every weekend I came around
G F
Leave your light on, I’ll sneak in after dark
Am C G F
You were my favorite crime
 

Verse 2

 
Am C G
It’s bittersweet to think about the damage that we do
F Am
‘Cause I was going down and I was bringing you
C G F
Right along with me, ’cause what I did to you
