E
Blood in my mouth, blood in my mouth

          G                           A
Don't you try to kiss me when there's blood in my mouth

E
Blood on my face, blood on my face

          G                          A
Don't you take pictures when there's blood on my face

E
Blood on my hands, blood on my hands

          G                           A                 E(two short palm mutes)
Don't you like it better when there's blood on my hands


Chorus:

You could be sweet, baby, you could be kind

But you ain't no friend, no, you ain't no friend of mine


#play intro/chorus riff over this:

Ain't no friend of mine, you ain't NO! friend of mine

You ain't NO! friend of mine

#play descending part while singing (nahnahnahnahnahnahnah)


Verse 2:

E                              G   A
I walk the bodies into the yard

E                                  G   A
You take the bombs home in your car

E                                             G   A   E(two short palm mutes)
I'll wash the dishes, baby, you fold the pants


Chorus:

You could be sweet, baby, you could be kind

But you ain't no friend, no, you ain't no friend of mine


#play intro/chorus riff over this:


Ain't no friend of mine, you ain't NO! friend of mine

You ain't NO! friend of mine

Verse again:

E
Blood in your mouth, blood in your mouth

          G                       A
Don't you talk to me when there's blood in your mouth

E
Blood on my face, blood on my face

          G                          A
Don't you take pictures when there's blood on my face

E
Blood on our hands, blood on our hands

         G                A
Don't we look better with blood on our hands


E
You could be sweet, baby, you could be kind
