E  B     C              A       E   BIn muddy grass we stand side by side
         C        Awith our knuckles interlocked
E     B       C         A   E   BBlack dresses flood the c  emetery
        C          Ain this cliche tragedy
A                             AJust do as you're instructed and....
C              D             ATake this razor and cut your palms

                         E                B         CI'll do the same until a river of crimson begins to flow
                   D            ANow drip your ruby red over the casket
  E              B          AA funeral for my once loved youth

Pre-chorus:

   E      B          CMy secret is fatally gorgeous
A           AI'd die for you
            E          B             CBut in this Bonnie and Clyde kind of romance
A               Atell me what would you do?
   E         B        CMy secret is fatally gorgeous
A        AI'd die for you
             E         B         CBut when your precious life is at stake
        A         B          Ctell me would you die for me too?

Chorus:

E                 B            CThe quivering liquids in your stomach
                          Awill eat away at the bad habits that have made you
       E                B                   Ca real character in the story of your now distant life
A2               A2Goodnight and goodbye, quickly

The rest of the song is pretty much just these things repeated (the verse, pre-chorus, 
chorus). Listen to the song and I’m sure you can figure it out. You can also watch my 
cover on Youtube to see how I play it (www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOshpjZ6H7Q). Good luck!
