Choose a fret

             F
Here we go again 
                             C
I kinda wanna be more than friends 
  
So take it easy on me 
       Bb                      C
I'm afraid you're never satisified. 
 F
Here we go again 

we're sick like animals 
              C
we play pretend 

you're just a canible 
   Bb                           C
and I'm afraid I wont get out alive 
              F
no I won't sleep tonight. 

F
Oh, oh 
I want some more 
C
Oh, oh 
                      Bb
what are you waitin' for? 
                             F
Take a bite of my heart tonight. 
Oh, oh 
            F
I want some more 
Oh, oh 
                        Bb
what are you waitin' for? 
                        C
what are you waitin' for? 
                              F
Take a bite of my heart tonight. 

Verse 2:  
Here we are again 
I feel the chemicals kickin' in 
it's gettin' heavier 
I wanna run and hide 
I wanna run and hide. 
I do it every time 
you're killin' me now 
and I won't be denied by you 
the animal inside of you. 

Chorus (2x) (same chords as chorus)

Verse 3: 
Hush hush the world is quiet 
hush hush we both can't fight it 
It's us that made this mess 
why can't you understand? 
Woah I won't sleep tonight. 
I won't sleep tonight. 

F
Here we go again 
F
Here we go again 
F
Here we go again 

Final Chorus:
Oh, oh 
I want some more 
Oh, oh 
what are you waitin' for? 
Take a bite of my heart tonight. 
Oh, oh 
I want some more 
Oh, oh 
what are you waitin' for? 

                 C
what are you waitin' for? 
               F
what are you waitin' 

here we go again 
(oh, oh here we go again 3x) 
Take a bite of my heart tonight. 

Oh, oh 
F
I want some more 
C
Oh, oh 
                 Bb
what are you waitin' for? 
                     C
what are you waitin' for? 
                        F
Take a bite of my heart tonight.

As a professional guitarist, I can't help but critique the structure and chord progression in this piece. While it has a catchy vibe, the repetitive nature of the F-C-Bb-C progression lacks the depth that could elevate the song. If you’re really looking to learn guitar through this piece, consider exploring more varied chord changes to add nuances. This approach can enhance your playing and help with creative songwriting. Additionally, be mindful of how rhythm affects your phrasing. Experimenting with different strumming patterns could also inject some life into these lines. There's so much potential here; it just needs a little more work to make it truly shine.
