[Verse]

Em                       Am
Twisted all my limbs for you
D                        
Two of them in knots and 
G               B
two of them in loops
Em                         Am
Ribbons tied around like a noose
D                          G     B
Wonder if I'll ever get it loose
Em                       Am
I don't wanna bruise for you
D                        G              B
Holding back my words until my face is blue
Em                              Am
I don't really care about your crew
                   D            G  B
You can tell them what you want to
 
[Pre-Chorus]

Em
(Bones are crushing, 

palms are crushing)
        Am
Pushin' me (Bodies touching, bodies touching)
       D
Lovin' me (Heart is pumping, 

heart is pumping)
        G
Pullin' me (Feelin' nothing, feelin' nothing)
B       Em
Freakin' me (Bones are crushing, 

palms are crushing)
         Am
Crushin' me (Bodies touching, bodies touching)
         N.C.   G  B
Touchin' me, uh-ah
 
[Chorus]

   Em        Am      D
I'm done, I'm done, done doing backbends
    G          B          Em      Am
I break and I snap, It's no fun, no fun
D                    G     
Pushed myself into a box, 
          B     Em
while you held out a gun
Am         D           G      B
 I'm done, ah-ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Em       Am        
I'm done, I'm done, 
D           G      B
ah-ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
 
[Verse]

Em                        Am
Twisted all my bones like screws
 D                         
Stretching my self worth, 
      G               B
just like you usually do
Em                            Am      N.C.
Caught you like the cold or a flu (Ah-choo)
D                               G   B
Praying that I'll someday be immune
Em                   Am
Got me like a bad tattoo 

(Oh-oh-oh)
D                      
Always on your skin,   
      G              B
even when it gets removed (Ooh)   
Em                      Am
Never got a chance to undo (Oh-oh-oh)
   D                          G      
Positions that you forced my way into  
       B
(Ooh)
 
[Pre-Chorus]

Pushin' me (Bodies touching,

Touchin' me, ow-ah

Stretching my self worth, 
      G               B
just like you usually do

Caught you like the cold or a flu (Ah-choo)
D                               G   B
Praying that I'll someday be immune

Got me like a bad tattoo (Oh-oh-oh)

Always on your skin,

Never got a chance to undo 

(Oh-oh-oh)

Positions that you forced

my way into (Ooh)
