when you last left me , my blood was in a jar
C G D Em
and you kept it on your mantlepiece
Em D G
i couldn’t count on anyone to stand there behind me
C G D C G
and keep the dogs from dragging me off with them
C Em C G
while i slept , you crept in
Em D G D
and pulled the rug right out from under me
C Em C G
in the rain , you stole away
Em D G D
and took the parts that kept me functioning
Em C G D Em
now my heart will be blacker than your eyes when i’m through with you
Em , C , G
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
all of the roads are one now , each choice is the same
all the roads , they are one now , each choice is the same
i won’t show my hands now , i know this ain’t a game
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
