Verse:
[E]In [B]muddy [C]grass we stand [A]side by [E]side[B]
with our [C]knuckles [A]interlocked
[E]Black [B]dresses [C]flood the [A]c e[E]mete[B]ry
in this [C]cliche trag[A]edy
[A]Just do as you're instructed a[A]nd....
[C]Take this razor[D] and cut your [A]palms

My [E]secret is [B]fatally g[C]orgeous
[A]I'd die f[A]or you
But when your[E] precious [B]life is at[C] stake
tell me [A]would you [B]die for me [C]too?
