Full Song
Verse 1
AmFC
I used to think I was smart, you made me look so naive
GAm
The way you sold me for parts as you sunk your teeth into me
FCG
Oh, bloodsucker, famefucker, bleedin’ me dry like a goddamn vampire
Chorus
AmFC
You said it was true love but wouldn’t that be hard
GAm
You can’t love anyone ’cause that would mean you have a heart
FC
I tried to help you out, now I know that I can’t
GAmF
‘Cause how you think ’bout me is based on how you think about yourself
Verse 2
AmFC
You only come out at night, I used to think you were nice
G
I know now you’re just a vampire
AmFC
And every girl before me, every girl after me
G
Was just another neck that you bite
