E       A          G#m    G#
I am a magnet for broken pieces
E        A          G#m   G#
I am attracted to broken people
E          A              G#m         G#
I pick 'em up and now my fingers are bleeding
        E             A    G#m G#
And it looks like my fault
        A
And it looks like I'm caught red-handed

Chorus:
    E         A   G#m
Hit over the head
  G#
(Epiphany)
E        A  G#m
Over my head
   G#
(Repeatedly)
        E          A G#m
Thick skull never did
 G#
(Nothing for me)
      E       A  G#m
Same lesson again
          G#
(Come on, give it to me)
A
(Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me)

Only I know where all the bodies are buried
Thought by now I'd find 'em just a little less scary
Might get easier, but you don't get used to it
Keep on autopilot, mmm

Hey, hey
What's the body count up to now, captain?

Chorus

E                      A      G#m G#
Come on out with your hands up
E                      A      G#m G#
Come on out with your hands up
    E                   A      G#m G#
I'm coming out with my hands up
E                      A      G#m G#
Come on out with your hands up

Chorus:
Hit over the head
(Epiphany)
Over my head
(Repeatedly)
Thick skull never did
(Nothing for me)
Same lesson again?
Come on, give it to me, give it to me
(Give it to me, give it to me)

I pick 'em up and now my fingers are bleedin'
And it looks like I'm caught red-handed
