Bm
One beat, one life
                            A
One me, let the other side go
Oh-oh-oh
Bm
I live and die by your knife
                  A
This is homicide love
                            Em
Tell me, could you make me, oh
              F#
All that you want?
               G
Would you fly home?
                  A      G  D
Or could it ever be just alright?

Chorus:
D                            Bm
Tell me what you're waiting for
                        A
Hold me like you did before
                                  G
Or just run away, run away, run away
                     A                D
'Cause I don't think I can take much more
                      Bm
Why you always waging war?
                          A
Tell me why I'm keeping score
Oh, would you give me one,
                          G
give me one, give me one more
          A              Bm
Life if this was truly love?
       A
Truly love

You need your space
I can't breathe when we go your pace
Oh-oh-oh
You make me sick, but all I wanna do is kiss your lips
I'm such a sucker for sweet-talking, yeah
So do you tell all your friends
You've got your gun to my head?
I know it's never gonna be just us

Chorus:
Tell me what you're waiting for
Hold me like you did before
Or just run away, run away, run away
'Cause I don't think I can take much more
Why you always waging war?
Tell me why I'm keeping score
Oh, would you give me one,
give me one, give me one more
Life if this was truly love?

D      Bm
Love, love
Love
          A
Or is it nothing?
Or is it nothing?
       G     F#
Is it love? Love

G                A
Oh, you tear me down
             G
You build me up
          A             G
Kill me slow with your love
            F#             Bm
And I will try to be your love
  A
Enough
Bm
I live and die by your knife
                  A
This is homicide love
