Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4 x4
verse :
Em7 Cadd9 G
a cherry bomb , you are a mystery
Em7/B Cadd9 G
exploded , sparkling quiet nights
Em7 Cadd9 G
my teenage heart packed all my misery , baby
Em7/B Cadd9 G
to fingertips that might ignite
Em7 Cadd9 G
and all along you knew my story , didn’t you
Em7/B Cadd9 G
and all night long i carried yours
Em7 Cadd9 G
your blood was mixed wine and robbery , baby
Em7/B Cadd9 G
and left us always wanting more

verse
Em7 Cadd9 G
cherry bomb , your love is surgery
Em7/B Cadd9 G
removing what you don’t regard
Em7 Cadd9 G
and every breath felt like a funeral , baby
Em7/B Cadd9 G
while you were packing up your car
Em7 Cadd9 G
and with the window down i hear your tired mouth
Em7/B Cadd9 G
you borrowed everything and wore all your old welcomes out
Em7 Cadd9 G
and shame on you , my love you sold your youth away
Em7/B Cadd9 G
memories are sinking ships that never would be saved
