Bm
Sorry that I did this,
the blood is on my hands
    G
I stare at my reflection,
I don't know who I am
  D
Practice my confession.
In case I take the stand
      F#
I'll say I learned my lesson,
I'll be a better man

I'm packing up my things and
I'm wiping down the walls
I'm rinsing off my clothes and
I'm walking through the halls
I did it all for her
So I felt nothing at all
I don't know what she'll say
So I'll ask her when she calls

Chorus:
Bm
Would you love me more? (would you love me more?)
                          G
If I killed someone for you
Would you hold my hand? (would you hold my hand?)
                             D
They're the same ones that I used
                       F#
When I killed someone for you
Bm
Would you turn me in? (would you turn me in?)
                          G
When they say I'm on the loose
Would you hide me when (would you hide me when?)
                   D
My face is on the news?
                       F#
'Cuz I killed someone for you

I hear the sirens coming
I see the flashing lights
I'm driving through the suburbs
Wearing my disguise
I show up at her doorstep
To look her in the eyes
I tell her that it's me
But she doesn't recognize
Can't you see I'm running?
Said I need a place to hide
I've gotta ask you something
Could you please let me inside?
Just let me explain
No I wouldn't tell you lies
I know you'll understand
If you let me stay the night

Chorus

    Bm
You have to understand that
the one I killed is me
  G
Changing what I was for
what you wanted me to be
   D
I followed your direction,
did everything you asked
  F#
I hope it makes you happy,
'cuz there's just no turning back

Chorus
