Intro: Ebm--


Verse 1:
                          
  Love, bring me the head of jealousy 
                               
His curse is the poison on her lips 
                       
A love as certain as a sinking ship
Unstoppable


Refrain 1:
            
This isn't a dream
                  
this is what you are 
                 
And I'll take the blame
                         
but that won't heal your scars 


Chorus 1:

Look look a little 
                    
closer and then shut off 
              
You should've known
              
this wasn't a truce
                 
Keep taking your cheap shots
Until I'm black and blue


Verse 2:

  You should have known better 
        
than to change your mind
                               
Your tears won't tame your misery
They're the ones that
                  
say your heart is just a beat
Your just keeping time


Refrain 2:
            
This isn't a game who
                  
do you think you are? 
                 
And I'll take the blame but
                    
that won't heal your scars 


Chorus 2:

Look look a little 
                    
closer and then shut off 
              
You should've known
              
this wasn't a truce
                 
Keep taking your cheap shots
                    Bb-- x8
Until I'm black and blue

Chorus 3:

Look look a little 
                    
closer and then shut off 
              
You should've known
              
this wasn't a truce
                 
Keep taking your cheap shots
                (hold)
Until I'm black and blue
