[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 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
