Tip: Start very softly in the verse and build dramatically into the chorus. The dynamic shift is what gives this song its emotional punch.
Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
Am F C
I used to think I was smart, you made me look so naive
G Am
The way you sold me for parts as you sunk your teeth into me
F C G
Oh, bloodsucker, famefucker, bleedin’ me dry like a goddamn vampire
Chorus
Am F C
You said it was true love but wouldn’t that be hard
G Am
You can’t love anyone ’cause that would mean you have a heart
F C
I tried to help you out, now I know that I can’t
G Am F
‘Cause how you think ’bout me is based on how you think about yourself
Verse 2
Am F C
You only come out at night, I used to think you were nice
G
I know now you’re just a vampire
Am F C
And every girl before me, every girl after me
G
Was just another neck that you bite
