   Am               
He blew into town like a paper sack
      F                                                    
In a stolen car with a shotgun in the back
G        Am                                         
He said "She can't run now, she can't hide
     F                                        G   Am  F  G
I'm gonna get her back for her lies lies lies"
   Am              
He taught her how to pout and he taught her how to tease
        F                                                                      
And he taught her how to beg when she fell down to her knees
G       Am 
He said "Your face is different but you're really all the same"
          F                                G Am F G
I have to teach you a lesson again and again.
      Am             F   G     Dm   G    C      Dm              F   F#          
See I feel no pleasure   and I feel no pain so what else can I do?
  Em                  Am  F                             G       Am   F
I can't stop killing you"  (I can't stop - I can't stop killing you
                       G
I can't stop, I can't stop)
             Am              
"When you're out there in the dark I'll came rushing through your brain
          F                         
When you wake up in the morning I'll be coursing through your veins
             Am
When you're swimming in the water I'm the hand that drags you under
         F                                                    G
I'm the lightning that strikes you just before you hear the thunder
      Am                         F  Am  F   G
 (ahh-ooh) I can't stop killing you"

         Am                                                      
Well she woke up in the bathroom with her face upon the floor
            F                                                  G
She said I don't know what I'm doing here but I've been here before
         Am
And the fixit man had fixed her 'cos he's such a little Hitler
        F                                                        G
And he loves  the feel of power that she gives him through her terror
      Am                          F   G  Am  F   G
 (ahh ooh) "I can't stop killing you"
         Dm                 F            C             C*
Well she looked into the mirror and she smoked her cigarette
         Dm                        F          Em 
And she wondered where she'd go now to find a place she could forget
        F#                        
All the things he said he'd do
   Em                 Am  F                             G      Am
"I can't stop killing you . I can't stop. I can't stop killing you.
F                         G
I can't stop. I can't stop

            Am       
When you're out there in the dark I'll come rushing through your brain
          F                
When you wake up in the morning I'll be coursing through your veins
             Am
When you're swimming in the water I'm the hand that drags you under
          F                                                   G
I'm the lightning that strikes you just before you hear the thunder
      Am                         F   G  Am  F  G Am . . .
 (ahh-ooh) I can't stop killing you"
