[G]Know that I loved you so bad, [G]I let you treat me like that. [Em]I was your willing accomplice, honey, and [G]I watched as you fled the scene. [G]Doe-eyed as you buried me, [Em]one heart broke, four hands bloody.

The things I [D]did, just so I could call you [C]mine. The things you [D]did, well, I hope I was your favorite [C]crime.

[G]You used me as an alibi, [G]I crossed my heart as you crossed the line. And [Em]I defended you to all my friends, and now [G]every time a siren sounds. [G]I wonder if you’re around, ’cause [Em]you know that I’d do it all again.

Oh, the things I [D]did, just so I could call you [C]mine. The things you [D]did, well, I hope I was your favorite [C]crime.

It’s [Am]bittersweet to think about the damage that we do. Cuz [Em]I was going down, but I was [D]doing it with you. Yeah, [Am]everything we broke and all the trouble that we made. But [Em]I say that I hate you with a [D]smile on my [C]face. [G] Oh, look what we [C]became. [G]

Oh, the things I [D]did, just so I could call you [C]mine. Oh, the things you [D]did, well, I hope I was your favorite [C]crime.

Your favorite [G]crime, your favorite [Em]crime ‘Cause baby, you were mine
