Verse 1:
BE
Maybe it's just cheap easy lust with chemicals
F#
we 're dirt forever
BE
Maybe we're blessed, I'll rip your dress, you pull my hair
F#
now we'll leave together
BE
Maybe you're young, I'll bite your tongue, your lip will bleed
F#
we?re trash forever
BE
Maybe you're right, just for tonight your clumsy kiss
F#
Won't taste so clever
Pre-Chorus:
B
And all I need is a substitute
EF#E
Maybe in the dark she'll look enough like you
Chorus:
BF#
I'll take the shame, lust to blame
E
What if we ever meet again?
BF#
I'll know your face, not your name
BE#
But we'll know
Verse 2:

I'm sick forever

And all I need is a substitute
EF#E
Maybe in the dark she'll look enough like you

Two strangers caught behind the night

Now every time I see your ghost

Now every time I see your ghost

You're the perfect second best
