Asus2              Cmaj7        Fmaj7
I can't use what I can't abuse
    Asus2                Cmaj7       Fmaj7
And I can't stop when it comes to you
    Asus2                 Cmaj7            Fmaj7
You burned me out but I'm back at your door
     Asus2              Cmaj7        Fmaj7
Like Joan of Arc coming back for more

I nearly died
         Asus2 Em
I nearly died
          D  A# F
I nearly died

Chorus:
F                 C
I came to cut you up
                    D7sus2
I came to knock you down
                  G                       F
I came around to tear your little world apart
                   C
I came to shut you up
                   D7sus2
I came to drag you down
                  G                        F
I came around to tear your little world apart
And break your soul apart

Oh, you burn and burn to get under my skin
You've gone too far now I won't give in
You crucified me but I'm back in your bed
Like Jesus Christ coming back from the dead

I nearly died
I nearly died
I nearly died

Chorus:
I came to knock you up
I came to cut you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to rip you up
I came to shut you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
And break your soul apart

I nearly died
Oh, I nearly died
I nearly died

Chorus:
I came to cut you up
I came to knock you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
I came to shut you up
I came to suck you down
I came around to tear your little world apart
Tear your little world apart
Tear your little world apart
And break your soul apart

I can't stop when it comes to you
I can't stop when it comes to you
When it comes to you
When it comes to you
