Verse 1
AmC
Know that I loved you so bad
G
I let you treat me like that
F
I was your willing accomplice, honey
AmC
And I watched as you fled the scene
GF
Doe-eyed as you buried me
Chorus
AmCG
And one heart broke, four hands bloody
F
That’s a pretty painful price just to be free
AmC
Every weekend I came around
GF
Leave your light on, I’ll sneak in after dark
AmCGF
You were my favorite crime
Verse 2
AmCG
It’s bittersweet to think about the damage that we do

‘Cause I was going down and I was bringing you

Right along with me, ’cause what I did to you
