[Intro]
Gm Bb Cm D Bb
Gm Bb Cm
[Verse]
Gm
The air was cold
D
The night I fled
Cm
Your eyes were more
Gm
Than I could take
Gm
I ran so fast
F
I ran like hell
Cm D
And still wasn't able to escape
Gm D
The picture's still fixed in my head
Cm Gm
The stage was all set at my request
Gm
You took the roll
F
You played it well
Cm Adim Gm
I knew it would be easy for you
[Pre Chorus]
D Cm
Strike me harder now
Gm Bb D
Push me to the ground
Cm Gm
Pain is sweeter
F Gm
Coming from your hand
Cm
I love you
Eb D Gm
When you hurt me the most
Gm Bb Cm
Gm Adim
So fell the lash, repeatedly
Cm Gm
The icy words cut me deep, and still
Gm
I begged for more
F
You gave no less
Cm Adim
Surrendering fully to the game
Gm
You took control
D
I took the blame
Cm Gm
You had enough so you looked away
Gm F
Deprived of love, deprived of pain
Cm D
No choice but to keep on sinking
[Pre Chorus]
D Cm
Strike me harder now
Gm Bb D
Push me to the ground
Cm Gm
Pain is sweeter
F Gm
Coming from your hand
Cm Gm
don't you leave me
Eb D Gm
When I need you the most
Gm Bb F Cm
Gm G# Bb
Cm Gm
No pain or love left for your slave
Bb F
My heart is torn yet you smile the same
Cm Gm G#
I'll break the vow and I'll tell myself
G# Bb
The words that free me from you
[SOLO]
Cm Gm Bb F Cm D F Adim Gm
[Pre Chorus]
D Cm
Strike me harder now
Gm Bb D
Push me to the ground
Cm Gm
Pain is sweeter
F Gm
Coming from your hand
Cm Gm F GM
Take your hate and drive it through my heart
Cm Gm Eb D Gm
But please don't leave me when I need you the most...
[Outro]
Gm
The air was cold
D
The night I fled
Cm Gm
The pain was more than I could take
Gm
You learned your role
D
you'll play it well
Cm Gm
I know it will be easy for you
