[G]I took my blade, [Am]and I cut him deep
[C]And the blood bloomed red [D]on his crisp white shirt
[G]For your party [Am]guests to see
[C]I could've run [G]in the night
[Am]I could've slit his [C]throat in his sleep
[G]But I wanted [D]you to see
[C]The company [D]you keep
[G]I thought we went together [C]like violence on a??? night
[Em]I thought being alone with a [G]violent man made you feel alright
[Am]Can we [C]get away tonight?

[Em]Till the [G]money comes out
[Am]You say that [C]I'm a brute
[Em]Cause I fell [G]faster than you

[D]And there's nothing [C]that I won't do
[D]To get [C]away with you
[Em]Smile lights the [G]slander in her eyes

[Em]And the cocktail chatter [G]all starts to dim
[G]Like a doppler away from me [Am]she spins??????? say she starts to swim
[C]She betrayed me, all [D]now on a whim
[G]To get [Am]away with him
[C]I took [G]my blade
[Am]But I couldn't get [C]it all to drain
[G]I could see [D]him bleeding differently
[C]Like teardrops [D]in the rain
