[Verse 1]
A F#m
Just 'cause I bought a Band-Aid
G Bm A
Doesn't mean I'm able to clean the scars that run
F#m
Deeper than all my old demons that
G Bm
I keep under still water
A F#m
Just 'cause you give me flowers
G Bm
Doesn't cover up the smell of the dead body
A
Or raise the dead body
F#m G Bm
Of a girl who got shot down before
A F#m
Just 'cause you cracked the window
G
Doesn't mean I'm able to
Bm A
Clear the air that my heart breathes
G Bm
Before you came around here
A F#m
Just 'cause you say you love me
G
Doesn't mean that I'm
Bm
Gonna look you in the eyes
A F#m
Pretend to be surprised
G
And say "I love you" back
(Love you back)
[Pre-Chorus]
D
Cause I'm tripping, 'trippin on rocks
G Bm
Cuttin' on my ankles where I know the blood stops
D
Blue Blue Knees
G Bm
Fallin' for the next man who breathes
[Chorus]
D A
I need a band-aid recovery
G Bm D
Don't get too close 'cause you're really nothing to me
A G Bm
You're just a Band-Aid on my knees
D A G
You're just a band-aid recovery
Bm G
I'll rip you off when I bleed
D A
I'll rip you off when I bleed
[Verse 2]
A F#m
Just 'cause I'm coming over
G Bm
Doesn't mean I'll be there when you wake up
A
'Cause coming over doesn't
F#m G Bm
Mean that I'm over him
A F#m
Just 'cause you are my band-aid
G Bm
Doesn't mean I want you to stick around
A F#m
Cause rebounds get washed away
G Bm
The next time it rains
[Pre-Chorus]
D
Cause I'm tripping, 'trippin on rocks
G Bm
Cuttin' on my ankles where I know the blood stops
D
Blue Blue Knees
G Bm
Fallin' for the next man who breathes
[Chorus]
D A
I need a band-aid recovery
G Bm D
Don't get too close 'cause you're really nothing to me
A G Bm
You're just a Band-Aid on my knees
D A G
You're just a band-aid recovery
Bm G
I'll rip you off when I bleed
D A
I'll rip you off when I bleed
