THIEF LYRICS
[Chorus]
C#m
Call me a thief
A
There's been a robbery
B
I left with her heart
Tore it apart
F#add9
Made no apologies
[Verse 1]
C#m
I've been living in the darkness
A
Shadows in my apartment, heartless
B
Taking love just to spill it on parchment
F#add9
Next page and I'm out again
C#m
I've been living in the night life
A
Lips hit you like a drive by, frost bite
B
Ice cold, I mean they cut you like a sharp knife
F#add9
Next page and I'm out again
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m A
Skin on my skin, what a wonderful sin
B F#add9
Take your breath but you're asking for more
C#m A
The tip of my finger is tracing your figure
B F#add9
I say good night and walk out the door
[Chorus]
C#m
Call me a thief
A
There's been a robbery
B
I left with her heart
Tore it apart
F#add9
Made no apologies
C#m
Just call me a thief
A
She was on top of me
B
Then I left with her heart
Broken and scarred
F#add9
Made no apologies
[Verse 2]
C#m
We can be so hollow
A
Like my rib cage, the echoes follow
B
Follow me like the fears I swallow
F#add9
And drown in all my mistakes
C#m
All I know is if my skin bled
Like the ink dripped from my pen
A B
My bed will be drenched in a scarlet rose red
F#add9
And drown in all my mistakes
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m A
Skin on my skin, what a wonderful sin
B F#add9
Take your breath but you're asking for more
C#m A
The tip of my finger is tracing your figure
B F#add9
I say good night and walk out the door
[Chorus]
C#m
Call me a thief
A
There's been a robbery
B
I left with her heart
Tore it apart
F#add9
Made no apologies
C#m
Just call me a thief
A
She was on top of me
B
Then I left with her heart
Broken and scarred
F#add9
Made no apologies
[Bridge]
C#m
Girl you better just lock me up
A
Because I've never been good for nothing
B F#add9
So you better just lock me up, lock me up
C#m
Girl you better just lock me up
A
Because I've never been good for nothing
B F#add9
So you better just lock me up, lock me up
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m A
The tip of my finger is tracing your figure
B F#add9
I say good night and walk out the door
[Chorus]
C#m
Call me a thief
A
There's been a robbery
B
I left with her heart
Tore it apart
F#add9
Made no apologies
C#m
Just call me a thief
A
She was on top of me
B
Then I left with her heart
Broken and scarred
F#add9
Made no apologies
[Outro]
C#m
Girl you better just lock me up
A
Because I've never been good for nothing
B F#add9
So you better just lock me up, lock me up
C#m
Girl you better just lock me up
A
Because I've never been good for nothing
B F#add9
So you better just lock me up, lock me up
