Intro: Am G F E  (x2) 

verse 1  

Am                                   G 
"Come on in, boy," said the skeletons sitting by her closet door  
F                               E 
  Dirty secrets, empty memories, and broken hearts across the floor  
Am 
  I was knocked out, heels over head  
G 
  So you dragged me by my feet  
F 
  To a ghost town, where you buried me  
E 
  No wonder no one heard my screams  
Am                        G 
Love's so alive, but it died in its sleep  
    F 
And now that it's dead, I live in your head and  
 E 
  I will haunt your fucking dreams  

  
Am                           G                          F 
  No one will love you like I did, will treat you like I did  
          E 
So go on, wear that scarlet letter  
Am                           G                          F 
  No one will love you like I did, will touch you like I did  
             E 
So good luck finding something better 
 

verse 2  
Am                                   G 
  Run away, boy, if you couldn't tell, baby's got a thirst for blood  
F                                  E 
  A subtle system, wicked melodies, craving bullets from her gun  
Am                                     G 
  So entranced they, follow every word, little spirals in their eyes  
F                             E 
  Catch a lover, turn an enemy just to watch them burn alive  

  
Am                           G                          F 
  No one will love you like I did, will treat you like I did  
          E 
So go on, wear that scarlet letter  
Am                           G                          F 
  No one will love you like I did, will touch you like I did  
             E 
So good luck finding something better

Am                  G                         F 
    Someday you may find that picture perfect guy  
         E                          Am 
And I'll chase my words with poison  
                 G                            F 
Until that day arrives, and swine take to the sky,  
          E 
Fill your void with open thighs so,  

 
 Am                           G                          F 
    No one will love you like I did, will treat you like I did  
          E 
So go on, wear that scarlet letter  
Am                           G                          F 
  No one will love you like I did, will touch you like I did  
             E 
So good luck finding something better  

Am                           G                          F 
  No one will love you like I did, will treat you like I did  
          E 
So go on, wear that scarlet letter  
Am                           G                         F 
  No one will love you like I did, will fuck you like I did  
             E                          Am 
So good luck finding something better
