[Verse 1]
Em
Fight after fight
            C
Break after break

Night after night
        G
Lying awake
             D
I can't find rest
Em
Watching you walk
              C
Watching you laugh

Watching you talk
              G
It cuts me in half
                       D
'Cause no matter how I dress
       Em   C     Em    C
I can't be enough
           Em    C      D
I was never enough


[Chorus]
                   C
'Cause you like the bad boys

With the long black hair
                   G
With their crooked smile

And their death trap stare
    D                   Em
And I, no, I'll never compare
            C
'Cause we were through before we could start
                  G
'Cause he was tattoed on the back of your heart
               D
But when he's busy
             Em
Breaking it apart
          C         D
Know that I will always be
            Em
the one to save it
         C            D
Know that I will alway be
            Em

[Verse 2]
Em
Week after week
            C
Mile after mile

Unable to speak
           G
Unable to smile
             D
I've made it through
Em
Word after word
          C
Day after day

What I've never heard
         G
Unable to say
          D
To someone new
       Em C Em C
I love you
       Em C D
I loved you


[Chorus]
                 C
But you like the bad boys

With the long black hair
                   G
With their crooked smile

And their death trap stare
    D                   Em
And I, no, I'll never compare
            C
'Cause we were through before we could start
                  G
'Cause he was tattoed on the back of your heart
               D
But when he's busy
             Em
Breaking it apart
         C            D
Know that I will always be

[Bridge]
C                                  G
Stop, stop, stop breaking me down
                                 D
Stop, stop, stop turning me round
                            Em
Stop, stop, stop this war
C                             G
I,I, I've learned how to fall
                           D
For, for, for the person who calls me
                   Em
All they were looking for


[Chorus]
                 C
But you like the bad boys

With the long black hair
                   G
With their crooked smile

And their death trap stare
    D                   Em
And I, no, I'll never compare
                C
And that's when she came

Like a brand new start
                 G
Now, she's the new name on the back of my heart
                 D
And when you're busy
          Em
Getting torn apart
           C          D
Know that I won't ever be
             Em
The one to save it
           C             D
Know that I will always be
            Em   C   Em   C
