[Verse]
               A          C#m                 E    G# A B
That's when it hit me and shattered my collar bone
         E              G#            A                 B       E      G# A B
I was in love with your world and the way you shoved it down my throat
      E               G#              A        B     E    G# A B
I was bleeding just a little from the cut near my eyebrow
            E              G#              A             B          E   G# A B
I wanted to tell ya that I loved you but I just couldn't figure out how

[Chorus]
E               G#
 That's when it hit me
A               B            E   G# A B
 That's when it hit me right now

[Verse]
   A                      C#m                 E     G# A B
My mouth fell open at the sight of a violent beauty
      E              G#            A               B          E         G# A B
I was drooling sweet liquid on the carpet when you cut right through me
   E         G#             A                    B      E    G# A B
My eyes were black when you threw me against the wooden door
      E         G#       A                  B        E    G#
I was head over heels, I thought I couldn't take any more

[Chorus]
A   B
Oh! Oh, but
E               G#
 That's when it hit me
A               B           E    G# A B
 That's when it hit me once more

[Pre-Chorus]
          E               G#                  A         B
And I was bleeding in the bed sheets, when we said good night
          E          G#               A            B
And I was touching a black and yellow bruise on my thigh
     E           G#         A       B           E       G# A B
I was running on empty, the big bad sun started to rise

E G# A B

[Chorus]
     E               G#
Well, that's when it hit me
A               B           E   G# A B
 That's when it hit me, aye aye

[Bridge]
             A
I think it's clear, oh darling
        C#m            B
That it hurts to split open
   A
My deep deep sleep
     C#m       B
At 2:30 in the morning
        A
But you broke into my heart
        C#m        B
And you gave me no warning
         A
You're a heart attack
          C#m      B
And I'm a dead man walking

[Bridge]
         A
When you went to sleep
            C#m            B
I stayed up starin' at the ceiling
      A
And I want the real thing
     C#m      B
With no sugar coating
    A
And no fine print
       C#m       B
Just a real wild feeling
        A
And I'm hittin' the floor
    C#m           B           E   G# A B
I'm rockin' and a reelin' for you
    E   G# A B
For you

[Chorus]
E               G#
 That's when it hit me
A               B              E         G# A
 That's when it hit me straight and true
B              E      G#
That's when it hit me
A             B            E    G# A B
Oh, it hit me straight and true

[Outro]
E G# A B
