Verse 1
DBm
Easy come, easy go, that’s just how you live
GA
Oh, take, take, take it all but you never give
DBm
Should’ve known you was trouble from the first kiss
GA
Had your eyes wide open, why were they open?
Pre-Chorus
GA
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
GA
You tossed it in the trash, you did
GA
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
GA
‘Cause what you don’t understand is…
Chorus
DBm
I’d catch a grenade for ya
GA
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
DBm
I’d jump in front of a train for ya
GA
You know I’d do anything for ya
DBm
I would go through all this pain
GA
Take a bullet straight through my brain
DBm
Yes, I would die for you, baby
G
But you won’t do the same
Verse 2
DBm
Black, black, black and blue, beat me ’til I’m numb
GA
Tell the devil I said “hey” when you get back to where you’re from
DBm
Mad woman, bad woman, that’s just what you are
GA
Yeah, you’ll smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car
Pre-Chorus
GA
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
GA
You tossed it in the trash, yes you did
GA
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
GA
‘Cause what you don’t understand is…
Chorus
DBm
I’d catch a grenade for ya
GA
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
DBm
I’d jump in front of a train for ya
GA
You know I’d do anything for ya
DBm
I would go through all this pain
GA
Take a bullet straight through my brain
DBm
Yes, I would die for you, baby
G
But you won’t do the same
Bridge
GA
If my body was on fire
DBm
You’d watch me burn down in flames
GA
You said you loved me, you’re a liar
D
‘Cause you never, ever, ever did, baby…
Chorus
DBm
But darling, I’d still catch a grenade for ya
GA
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
DBm
I’d jump in front of a train for ya
GA
You know I’d do anything for ya
DBm
I would go through all this pain
GA
Take a bullet straight through my brain
DBm
Yes, I would die for you, baby
G
But you won’t do the same
Outro
DBm
No, you won’t do the same
GA
You wouldn’t do the same
DBm
Ooh, you’ll never do the same
G
No, no, no, no…
