Verse 1: Am Sorry that I did this the blood is on my hands F I stare at my reflection I don't know who I am C Practice my confession In case I take the stand E I'll say I learned my lesson I'll be a better man Am I'm packing up my things and I'm wiping down the walls F I'm rinsing off my clothes and I'm walking through the halls C I did it all for her so I felt nothing at all E I don't know what she'll say so I'll ask her when she calls
Chorus: Am Would you love me more would you love me more F If I killed someone for you
Would you hold my hand would you hold my hand C They're the same that I used E When I killed someone for you Am Would you turn me in would you turn me in F When I say I'm on the loose
Would you hide me when would you hide me when C My face is on the news E Cuz I killed someone for you
Verse 2: Am I hear the sirens coming I see the flashing lights F I'm driving through the suburbs wearing my disguise C I show up at her doorstep to look her in the eyes E I tell her that it's me but she doesn't recognize Am chord diagramAmAm Can't you see I'm running Said I need a place to hide F I've gotta ask you something could you please let me inside C Just let me explain no I wouldn't tell you lies E I know you'll understand if you let me stay the night
Chorus: Am Would you love me more would you love me more F If I killed someone for you
Would you hold my hand would you hold my hand C They're the same that I used E When I killed someone for you Am Would you turn me in would you turn me in F When I say I'm on the loose
Would you hide me when would you hide me when C My face is on the news E Cuz I killed someone for you
Bridge: Am You have to understand that the one I killed is me F Changing what I was for what you wanted me to be C I followed your direction did everything you asked E I hope it makes you happy 'cuz there's just no turning back
Chorus: Am Would you love me more would you love me more F If I killed someone for you
Would you hold my hand would you hold my hand C They're the same that I used E When I killed someone for you Am Would you turn me in would you turn me in F When I say I'm on the loose
Would you hide me when would you hide me when C My face is on the news E Cuz I killed someone for you
