G         Bm
Wasted,I play the same part
            Em
Where I’m chasing,
      C
Your sick little heart
          G       D/F#           C Cm
'Til I’m jaded and lying on the floor

G            Bm
Faded, I’m wrapped in your arms
              Em
While you’re waiting
    C
To tear me apart
        G              D/F#            C Cm
With a last kiss, you leave me wanting more

Chorus:
G    Bm    Em
You ohhhhh ohh
          C     G
You’re a catch 22
            D/F#   C
Win or lose I’m screwed
                         G
I’m trapped under your spell
    Bm         Em
It saves me, breaks me
        C
Till I fall back to
G    D/F#   C
You ohhhhh ohh
                G Bm Em C
You’re a catch 22
                G Bm Em C
You’re a catch 22

Restless, I stay awake with the spaces
The thought of our hands interlacin', it's takin' over me
Reckless, I'm at your front door and I'm helpless
I'm twisted back up in the madness, repeating history
Promise me, you'll never let me leave

Chorus

Em           D
Damned if I do
             C
Damned if I don’t
        G
Let me go
     D/F#        C Cm
I’m better off alone
(And here we go again)

Chorus:
You, you're a catch twenty-two
Win or lose, I'm screwed
I'm trapped under your spell
It saves me, breaks me till I fall back to you
You're a catch twenty-two
Win or lose, I'm screwed
I'm trapped under your spell
It saves me, breaks me till I fall back to you
You're a catch twenty-two

Win or lose, I'm screwed
