Cm                        Gm               G#   D#
I don't wanna be another skeleton in your closet
         Cm                              Gm                 G# D#
Another rose that you throw, 'cause you know that it ain't okay
        Cm                   Gm                  G#    D#
Just a name on a stone in a row down the road forgotten
              Cm                          Gm               G#   D#
'Cause I was falling fast, now I'm just a dash between two dates

Chorus:
    Cm                       Gm
And I don't wanna be another heart in your graveyard
G#            D#
In the cold, hard dirt that you throw down
Cm                             Gm                  G#       D#
I don't wanna watch you drive away in a black car to a new bar
                         Cm        Gm     G#           D#
So you can find another hopeless, broken girl in a little black dress
         Cm        Gm         G#      D#               Cm Gm G#
And you take her, break her, lay her heart to rest in peace
D#                  Cm Gm G# D#
Right here next to me

Maybe I was naive to believe you would never hurt me
But now I know why you hide in your darkest suit and shades
You put on a show, so nobody knows
Your hands and your shoes are dirty
I guess you don't need a shovel to dig a grave

Chorus

     Cm          Gm                     G#    D#
You gonna go out one night when you see me out
            Cm                 Gm                  G#     D#
'Cause the ghost of a broken heart don't stay six feet down
           Cm               Gm                G#    D#
Yeah, you gonna go out one night when you see me out
            Cm                Gm                   G#     D#
'Cause the ghost of a broken heart don't stay six feet down

Chorus:
I don't wanna be another heart in your graveyard
In the cold, hard dirt that you throw down
I don't wanna watch you drive away in a black car to a new bar
So you can find another
Hopeless, broken girl in a little black dress
And you take her, break her, lay her heart to rest in peace
Right here next to me
Hopeless, broken girl
And you just take her, break her heart
Let her rest in peace
Right here next to me

I don't wanna be another heart
I don't wanna be another heart
In your graveyard, babe
In your graveyard, hey
