Verse 1:
B F#
Maybe it's just cheap easy lust with chemicals
E
we’re dirt forever
B F#
Maybe we're blessed, I'll rip your dress, you pull my hair
E
now we'll leave together
B F#
Maybe you're young, I'll bite your tongue, your lip will bleed
E
we’re trash forever
B F#
Maybe you're right, just for tonight your clumsy kiss
E
Won't taste so clever
Pre-Chorus:
F#
And all I need is a substitute
E F# E
Maybe in the dark she'll look enough like you
Chorus:
B F#
I'll take the shame, lust to blame
B F# E
What if we ever meet again?
B F#
I'll know your face, not your name
B F# E
But we'll know

I'm sick forever

And all I need is a substitute
E F# E
Maybe in the dark she'll look enough like you
