[INTRO]
G  Bm7  Em C
You...
G  D/F# C  Cm
You...


[VERSE 1]
 1  2  3 4 +
 G         Bm7
 Wasted, I play the same part
           1  2   34    +
           Em7          C
 Where I'm chasing your sick little heart
         G         D/F#                     C  Cm
'Til I'm jaded and lying on the floor
 G          Bm7
 Faded, I'm wrapped in your arms
              Em7        C
 While you're waiting to tear me apart
        G              D/F#                 C  Cm n.c.
 With a last kiss, you leave me wanting more


[CHORUS]
   G  Bm Em7          C
   You...    you're a catch-22
G         D                C
   Win or lose, I'm screwed -
                          G               Bm
   I'm trapped under your spell - it saves  me,
          Em        C              G  Bm C
    breaks  me 'til I fall back to you
             C
    You're a catch-22


[INTERLUDE]
G Bm Em           C
         You're a catch-22
G Bm Em C


[VERSE 2]
G         Bm
Restless, I stay awake
         Em7         C                         G
with the spaces, the thought of our hands interlacing -
     D/F#          C  C n.c.
it’s taking over me
G             Bm7
Reckless, I'm at your front door
        Em7           C
and I'm helpless, I'm twisted back up
       G          D/F#           C Cm
in the madness, repeating history

Em                 D/F#        C     Cm n.c.
Promise me, you'll never let me leave


[CHORUS]
   G  Bm Em7          C
   You...    you're a catch-22
G         D                C
   Win or lose, I'm screwed -
                          G               Bm
   I'm trapped under your spell - it saves  me,
          Em        C              G  Bm C
    breaks  me 'til I fall back to you
             C
    You're a catch-22


[INTERLUDE]
G Bm | Em         C
         You're a catch-22
G Bm | Em C    |


[BRIDGE]
Em | G/D | Cmaj7 | G
                    (You're a catch-22)

Em             G/D             C
   Damned if I do, damned if I don’t
          G              G/B      C
   Let me go, I'm better off alone
Cm
   and here we go again


[FINAL CHORUS 1]
n.c. G  Bm Em7          C
     You...    you're a catch-22
G           D                C
     Win or lose, I'm screwed -
                            G               Bm
     I'm trapped under your spell - it saves  me,
           Em        C      n.c.
     breaks  me 'til I fall back to

     you...    you're a catch-22
G           D                 C
     Win or lose, I'm screwed -
                   n.c.     G               Bm
     I'm trapped under your spell - it saves  me,
           Em        C      n.c.    G  Bm C
     breaks  me 'til I fall back to you
