Gm
If I was a pirate sailing the seas
      Cm
Would you come and pillage the village with me?
       D
We'll bury the treasure and go down together
   Gm
If I was a pirate

If I was an outlaw robbing a bank
Would you be my Bonnie? Help me get away?
Would you pull the trigger and blow 'em away?
If I was an outlaw

Chorus:
A#     D         Gm
How bad would I have to be?
A#     D
How bad?

If I was a vampire roaming the night
Would you be my prey? Put your neck on the line?
Live in the shadows and die in the light?
If I was a vampire

If I was a wanted man on the run
Would you take the fall if we were under the gun?
And drop down beside me in the nooses they've hung?
If I was a wanted man on the run

Chorus

   Cm
If I was the worst man in the world
      Gm
Would you still be my girl?
     Cm
The scariest monster you ever seen
      D
Would you still love me?

If I was a killer with blood on my hands
Would you be my alibi and lie on the stand?
Swear on your life that I'm an innocent man?
If I was a killer

Chorus
