[Verse 1]
B                   E                            C#
How many nights did we spend talking about "It's almost time to pass out.
F#
Just one more before we hit the floor."
B              E                                   C#
Simply sucking on your neck, I thought you were my friend,
                       F#           B
but I've been wrong so many times before...
     E            C#        F#          B           E      C#      F#
...I make this mistake just please know that you're slowly killing me.
