C
"I know I'll do it again
I know we're gonna collide
F
I know we'll call it the end
But it's always always a lie
C
You wear your heart on your sleeve
I wear my blood on my tie
F
But it's only love underneath, this disguise

Oh you left, a hole in me
I don't cut, easily
I'm only just holding up, on my knees
I think it's time to open up, I don't mean bleed "

             G#
"So turn it on, we can go wild
                      G         A#
If it's what you want, fire at me "

Chorus:
 C  A#   F
"I can't bear to let you go
C       A#    F
So keep on throwing your sticks and stones
            C                  A#               G#              F
I'd rather fight with you all night, than never have you in my life
C  A#    F                           A#
I can't bear to let, bear to let you go"

Why don't you do it again?
Go wrecking something of mine
Like you deserve the revenge
Like I've got something to hide
I'll keep on playing with you, yeah
You keep on calling me names
Sure, I can take the abuse
It's just a game

Oh you left a hole in me
But I don't cut easily
I'm only just holding up, on my knees
I think it's time to open up
I don't mean bleed

So turn it on
We can go wild if it's what you want
Fire at me

Chorus

G#                              A#
All I know is I love it when our shit blows
                        F
We keep turning red hot and stone cold
Sweet burn inside
G#
Deals get broke
                    A#
We fall in and fall out
We're too close, it's dead love
       F
Until curtains close and we come alive

Chorus:
I can't bear to let you go
So keep on throwing your sticks and stones
I'd rather fight with you all night
Than never have you in my life
I can't beart to let, bear to let no

I can't bear to let you go
So keep on throwing your sticks and stones
I'd rather fight with you all night
Than never have you in my life
I can't bear to let, bear to let you go
