B        Dbm            Ab      B               Eb              Abm
Attacker at the bedroom window, push the ladder from the windowsill
B            Dbm                    Ab
Serenades me from the ground thirty feet below
             B       Eb                Abm
Am I hearing voices, telling me what I already know
B                   Dbm              Ab
Don't you move now, I'm just in here reading
B                       Eb                  Abm
Pages turning, spine is breaking, plot's unfolding
        B                   Db                 Ab
I can't breathe because I'm trying to stop the bleeding
B                   Eb       Abm
Pressure, stop your shaking. Pressure stop your shaking

[Chorus]
            E     Gb       Abm        E   Gb  Abm
I was a victim of teenage romanticide,         and in the wrong
        E         Gb       Abm        E
I was a victim of teenage romanticide,         but not for long

[Interlude]
E  Gb  Abm

[Verse]
B                     Dbm              Abm
Your voice across the tin can line is quiet
B               Eb                Abm
Unromantic, I'm trying to find my nerve
B                        Dbm            Abm
Snuff the fire, mark the mail return to sender
          B                Eb               Ab
Tattoo my name across your lips so you remember

[Chorus]
            E     Gb       Abm        E   Gb  Abm
I was a victim of teenage romanticide,         and in the wrong
        E         Gb       Abm        E
I was a victim of teenage romanticide,         but not for long
