Tom : F
(verse 1)
Em
I could corrupt you
C D
in a heart beat
Em
you think your so special
C D
think your so sweet
Em
what are you trying
C D
don't even tempt me
Em
soon you'll be crying
C D
unwishing you dreamt of me
(chorus)
C Am D F Em
you'll be calling out my name
C Am D F Em
when you need someone to blame
(the rest of the song uses the same chords, in all parts)
(verse 2)
i could corrupt you
it would be easy
watching you suffer
god, it would please me
i wanna touch you
with my little finger
i know it will crush you
my memory would linger
(chorus)
you'd be crying out in pain
begging me to play my games
(verse 3)
i could corrupt you
it will be ugly
they could sedate you
but what good could drugs be
i wanna touch you
with my hands on your hips
it would be too much to
place my lips on your lips
(chorus)
you'll be calling out my name
begging me to play my games
(and for the outro, just use the verse chords)
