[Verse 1]
    F                  Eb
She cuts you once, she cuts you twice
    Dm       Cm  Bb
But still you believe
    Am                        Dm
The wound is so fresh you can taste the blood
        Bb         Dm          C
But you don't have strength to leave
                  F                 Eb
You've been bought, you've been sold
            Dm       Cm         Bb
You've been locked outside the door
        Am
But you stand there pleadin',
          Dm
With your insides bleedin',
           Bb        Dm        C
'Cause you deep down want some more


[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                          A7/D
 Then she says she wants forgiveness
Bbmaj7                        Em7 Eb A7
 It's such a clever masquerade


[Chorus]
Dm                         A7/D  A/C#
 She's so good with her stiletto
Cm                      G/B
 You don't even see the blade
Gm/Bb                    C9
   You don't see the blade


[Verse 2]
    F                  Eb
She cuts you hard, she cuts you deep,
      Dm      Cm    Bb
She's got so much skill
      Am                         Dm
She's so fascinating that you're still there waiting
         Bb         Dm      C
When she comes back for the kill
                   F           Eb
You've been slashed in the face
            Dm     Cm      Bb
You've been left there to bleed
    Am
You want to run away
        Dm
But you know you're gonna stay
           Bb        Dm       C
'Cause she gives you what you need


[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                         A7/D
 Then she says she needs affection
Bbmaj7                          Em7 Eb A7
 While she searches for the vein


[Chorus]
Dm                         A7/D  A/C#
 She's so good with her stiletto
Cm                         G/B
 You don't really mind the pain
Gm/Bb                     C9   F
   You don't mind the pain        Whoa

[Verse 3]
    F                 Eb
She cuts you out, she cuts you down
    Dm     Cm       Bb
She carves up your life
        Am
But you won't do nothing
       Dm
As she keeps on cutting
           Bb       Dm       C
'Cause you know you love the knife
                  F                 Eb
You've been bought, you've been sold
            Dm      Cm         Bb
You've been locked outside the door
        Am
But you stand there pleadin',
          Dm
With your insides bleedin',
           Bb        Dm        C
'Cause you deep down want some more


[Pre-Chorus]

 Then she says she needs affection
Bbmaj7                          Em7 Eb A7
 While she searches for the vein


[Chorus]
Dm                         A7/D  A/C#
 She's so good with her stiletto
Cm                         G/B
 You don't really mind the pain
Gm/Bb                     C9
   You don't mind the pain
