[Em] [Em] [Em] [Em]
Knew he was a [Em]killer, first time that I saw him

But if he’s a [Em]ghost then I can be a phantom
Holding him for [Em]ransom

Some, some boys are tryin’ [Em]too hard

I see nothing [Em]better, I keep him forever
Like a ven[Em]dettata

Me, I was a [Em]robber, first time that he saw me
Stealing hearts and [Em]running off and never saying sorry
But if I’m a [Em]thief then, he can join the heist
And we’ll move to an [Em]island.

Every lover [Em]known in comparison is a failure
I forget their [Em]names now, I’m so very same now
Never be the [Em]same now, now
