D
Remember when I dove
into the ground
   G
And I got a bloody
     D
knee under my
skin A scar from wiping out
     G
It brings back the memories
Bm          G
Every bone’s been broken
C             A
My heart is still wide open and

Chorus:
D
I can’t stop
 A               Bm
Don’t care if I lose
      F#m                    G
Baby, you are the weapon I choose
                  A
These wounds are self-inflicted
D          A                  Bm
I’m going down in flames for you
      F#m                    G
Baby, you are the weapon I choose
                  A
These wounds are self-inflicted
G              A             D
One more thing I’m addicted to

With each scar, there's a map that tells a story
What a souvenir of young love's like jumping out
An airplane riding a tidal wave of an ocean of emotion
My heart rips me wide open

Chorus:
    Bm                 G
And I cover up these scars
(we break up we make
A
up then we break up)
    Bm                   G
And I cant stop seeing stars
(I’m so knocked out
                  D
whenever you’re around)

I can't stop,
don't care if I lose
Baby, you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
I'm going down in flames for you
Baby, you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
One more thing I'm addicted to

I can't stop
No, I can't stop
No, I can't stop
Oh, I'm going out in flames
Oh, I'm going down in flames
Ohh
Baby, you are the weapon I choose
Baby, you are the weapon I choose
