Bm Hello hello hello my darling G have we reached the end? D A Cause when the stitches fall G Bm apart we're hanging by a thread A Hello hello hello my darling G some things never change D When our words are dipped in A G gasoline our love Bm goes up in flames I tried so hard to get behind your mental barricade But every time it leaves me feeling damaged, torn, and frayed Chorus: Em G Hanging by a thread Em G Hanging by a thread D When you break my heart A I fall apart til G Bm you stitch me up again I'm tired of all the drama that unravels in your head Well, it's easy to get tangled up when your world is torn to shreds And every time you spit at me, some day you will regret An ounce of insecurity is worth a pound of lead Chorus: Em G Hanging by a thread Em G Hanging by a thread D When you break my heart A I fall apart til G Bm you stitch me up again oh Em G Hanging by a thread Em G Hanging by a thread D A C'mon patch me up or cut me loose G Bm cause these rags are turning red D A C'mon patch me up or cut me loose G Bm cause I'm hanging by a thread Hello, hello, hello my darling, have we reached the end?
