 F#m                        E             A
When you last left me, my blood was in a jar
         D      A        E     F#m
And you kept it on your mantelpiece
  F#m                           E            A
I couldn't count on anyone to stand there behind me
     D        A          E         D        F#m
and keep the dogs from dragging me off with them

  D       F#m  D         A
While I slept, you crept in
               F#m        E       A      E
And pulled the rug right out from under me
D      F#m    D          A
In the rain, you stole away
             F#m         E       A      E
And took the parts that kept me functioning
 F#m                   D                A
Now my heart will be blacker than your eyes when
      Bm         F#m
I'm through with you

And I said: "This life ain’t no love song"
While I marched on blindly
And my knuckles dragged across the walls
And the birds up there mock me and the scenery’s
turned wicked
And your name is trapped beneath my tongue

F#m         A        B               D
All of the roads are one now, each choice is the
F#m
same
         A              B               D
All the roads, they are one now, each choice is
     F#m
the same
          A      B             D                F#m
I won't show my hands now, I know this ain't a game
         A              B               D
All the roads, they are one now, each choice is...

Take a step, take another step, take another step
Not a care for where they fall
You burned me, yeah, you’ve burned me
Yeah, you’ve burned me now one too many times
My thoughts are the cold kind
I got storm clouds that are brewing behind my eyes

And my heart will be blacker than your eyes when
I’m through with you
