              Intro: Em  C  G  D 
 
Verse 1:
Fm                        Eb5/Bb  Fm 
I see nothing in your eyes,       and the more I see the less I like 
Eb5/Bb  Db5          Eb5/Bb  Fm   Eb5/Bb 
Is it   over yet, in my      head? 
Fm                         Eb5/Bb  Fm 
I know nothing of your kind,       and I won't reveal your evil mind 
Eb5/Bb  Db5          Eb5/Bb  Fm   
Is it   over yet? I can't    win 
 
          Eb5/Bb  Db5 
So sacrifice yourself, and let me have what's left 
                  Fm                    Fm 
I know that I can find the fire in your eyes 
Eb5/Bb  Fm  G  Db5                        Ab/Eb 
I'm     going all the way, get away, please 
 
 
                              Eb5/Bb   Fm 
You take the breath right out of       me 
                               Eb5/Bb      Db5 
You left a hole where my heart should       be 
                                 Eb5 
You got to fight just to make it through 
                               Fm   Eb5/Bb 
'cause I will be the death of you 
 
Verse 2: 
Fm                        Eb5/Bb  Fm 
This will be all over soon,       pour the salt into the open wound 
Eb5/Bb  Db5          Eb5/Bb  Fm  
Is it   over yet? Let me     in 
 
          Eb5/Bb  Db5 
So sacrifice yourself, and let me have what's left 
                  Fm                    Fm 
I know that I can find the fire in your eyes 
Eb5/Bb  Fm  G  Db5                        Ab/Eb 
I'm     going all the way, get away, please 
 
 
                              Eb5/Bb   Fm 
You take the breath right out of       me 
                               Eb5/Bb      Db5 
You left a hole where my heart should      be 
                                 Eb5 
You got to fight just to make it through 
                              Fm  Db5  Ab/Eb  Eb5 
'cause I will be the death of you 
 
 
Bridge:
Fm           C#5          G#/Eb    D#5          G#/Eb 
I'm waiting, I'm praying, realize, start hating. 
 
 
                              Eb5/Bb   Fm 
You take the breath right out of       me. 
                               Eb5/Bb      C#5 
You left a hole where my heart should      be. 
                                 D#5 
You got to fight just to make it through, 
                              Fm 
'cause I will be the death of you.
