Am 
Call me a thief 
                F 
There's been a robbery 
                 G 
I left with her heart 
 
Tore it apart 
          D 
Made no apologies 
 
                         Am 
I've been living in the darkness 
                          F 
Shadows in my apartment, heartless 
                                 G 
Taking love just to spill it on parchment 
                        D 
Next page and I'm out again 
 
                         Am 
I've been living in the night life 
                                F 
Lips hit you like a drive by, frost bite 
                                      G 
Ice cold, I mean they cut you like a sharp knife 
                        D 
Next page and I'm out again 
 
Am                       F 
Skin on my skin, what a wonderful sin 
            G                           D 
Take your breath but you're asking for more 
    Am                    F 
The tip of my finger is tracing your figure 
       G                            D 
I say good night and walk out the door 
 
           Am 
Call me a thief 
                F 
There's been a robbery 
                 G 
I left with her heart 
 
Tore it apart 
          D 
Made no apologies 
                Am 
Just call me a thief 
            F 
She was on top of me 
                      G 
Then I left with her heart 
 
Broken and scarred 
          D 
Made no apologies 
 
              Am 
We can be so hollow 
                              F 
Like my rib cage, the echoes follow 
                             G 
Follow me like the fears I swallow 
                        D 
And drown in all my mistakes 
 
                         Am 
All I know is that your skin bled 
 
Like the ink dripped from my pen 
F                                     G 
My bed will be drenched in a scarlet rose red 
                        D 
And drown in all my mistakes 
 
Am                       F 
Skin on my skin, what a wonderful sin 
            G                           D 
Take your breath but you're asking for more 
    Am                    F 
The tip of my finger is tracing your figure 
       G                            D 
I say good night and walk out the door 
 
           Am 
Call me a thief 
                F 
There's been a robbery 
                 G 
I left with her heart 
 
Tore it apart 
          D 
Made no apologies 
                Am 
Just call me a thief 
            F 
She was on top of me 
                      G 
Then I left with her heart 
 
Broken and scarred 
          D 
Made no apologies 
 
          Am 
Girl you better just lock me up 
              F 
Because I've never been good enough 
        G                              D 
So you better just lock me up, lock me up 
          Am 
Girl you better just lock me up 
              F 
Because I've never been good enough 
        G                              D 
So you better just lock me up, lock me up 
 
    Am                    F 
The tip of my finger is tracing your figure 
       G                            D 
I say good night and walk out the door 
 
           Am 
Call me a thief 
                F 
There's been a robbery 
                 G 
I left with her heart 
 
Tore it apart 
          D 
Made no apologies 
                Am 
Just call me a thief 
            F 
She was on top of me 
                      G 
Then I left with her heart 
 
Broken and scarred 
          D 
Made no apologies 
 
          Am 
Girl you better just lock me up 
              F 
Because I've never been good enough 
        G                              D 
So you better just lock me up, lock me up 
          Am 
Girl you better just lock me up 
              F 
Because I've never been good enough 
        G                              D 
So you better just lock me up, lock me up
