[Verse 1]
    G                         D   
I'm living with a knife in my side
          A                     Bm
I'm gonna take it for a joy ride
    A             G      
You left when you gave it
              D                 A    
What criminal training, a sorry curse
            G                    D  
And they're daring me to pull it out
              A                     Bm
I'll probably keep it for a lifetime
     A        G                          D       
I'll probably name it, then care for and claim it
              A    
That's how it works

[Chorus]
     G      D           
When you go ruin my life
Bm                     A                
In the worst way right at the wrong time
     G        D              A      
When I'd have followed you blind, mm
         G       D             
And then I'll go out of my mind
F#m                 Bm            A   
Shifting my weight over the cliff side
    G                  D             A 
I'm takin' my chances, rolling the dice

[Post-Chorus]
                       G
Should be the last time
D                      A
Should be the last time
Bm            A        G
Should be the last time
D                        A    
Should be thе last time (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
        G                            D   
And I'm living with the ghost of you like
              A                     Bm 
You'rе riding shotgun on my long drives
     A         G                  D      
It's your destination, your radio station
             A               
Your song, rehearsed, oh-woah
        G                            
They're daring me to kick you out, oh
D             F#m             Bm 
I'll probably feel you 'til I die
    A          G                  D        
But I'll never face you or ever replace you
           A   
It doesn't work

[Chorus]
       G      D           
'Cause you go ruin my life
Bm                  A                 
Flatten my days and wrecking my nights
     G       D           A    
I'll be here doing my time, oh
         G       D             
And, oh, I'll go out of my mind
F#m                  Bm           A   
Banging my cage, and crossing the line
G                     D           A 
I'll never get it out if I never try

[Post-Chorus]
                            G
This should be the last time
    A          Em    A 
'Ime ('Ime), 'ime, 'ime
                          G 
This should be the last time

[Bridge]
                 A          
We know it won't when you're
              Em                
Holding court from your pedestal
A                   
Can't you come down?
    G                   A                
And showing no remorse, you're impossible
Em                   A                
I was strong before I got knocked down

[Chorus]
    G        D             
And you just ruined my life
Bm                   A                
Knowing that I'll be further from fine
    G         D            A       
I'm all bark, never would bite, ooh
G         D             
I've gone out of my mind
F#m                Bm      
Pouring my case of kerosene
A       G                      D                 A
I'll be burning this down, but keeping your knife
This won't be the last time
