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
