Standard (EADGBE)

Hello, hello, hello, my darling

Have we reached the end?

'Cause when the stitches fall apart

We're hanging by a thread

- same pattern as verse

Hello, hello, hello, my darling

Some things never change

When our words are dipped in gasoline

Our love goes up in flames

I tried so hard to get behind

Your mental barricade

But every time it leaves me feeling

Damaged, torn and frayed

Hanging by a thread

Hanging by a thread

When you break my heart I fall apart

'Til you stitch me up again

I'm tired of all the drama

That unravels in your head

Well, it's easy to get tangled up

When your world is torn to shreds

And every time you spit at me

Some day you will regret

An ounce of insecurity

Is worth a pound of lead

Hanging by thread

Hanging by thread

When you break my heart I fall apart

'Til you stitch me up again

Oh, hanging by a thread

Oh, hanging by a thread

C'mon patch me up or cut me loose

'Cause these rags are turning red

C'mon patch me up or cut me loose

'Cause I'm hanging by a thread

- during solo bit

World torn to shreds

Whoa oh whoa oh part

Hello, hello, hello, my darling

Have we reached the end?

'Cause when the stitches fall apart

We're hanging by a thread

For all the times we've hurt each other

With all the things we've said

Well, it's hard to hold an olive branch

With a gun against my head

Hanging by a thread

Hanging by a thread

When you break my heart I fall apart

'Til you stitch me up again

Oh, hanging by a thread

Oh, hanging by a thread

C'mon patch me up or cut me loose

'Cause these rags are turning red

C'mon patch me up or cut me loose

'Cause these rags are turning red

C'mon patch me up or cut me loose

'Cause I'm hanging by a thread
