[C#] [A]
[D] I thought that you were [B] joking [G] when you said you couldn't [Am] breathe, you said [D#m] you couldn't [D] breathe
[B] Turns out [D] that you were [G] joking on a child who [B] shouldn't leave, [Am] yeah I knew you'd [G] never [D] leave
That's your disapproval, [G] that means you're eight years old, [A] you were only eight years [D] old
From then on there was no removal [G] from that one weight that I've [Am] lowed, that one weight [G] that I've [B] lowed
[F#] [G]
[A] [D] I thought that you were laughing [G] when you cried your eyeballs out, [Am] you cried your [F] eyeballs [D] out
And I don't mean to be crying, [G] but what were you so sad [E] about, what are you [G] so sad [D] about
That's your disappointment, [G] that means you're nine years old, [E] you were only nine years [D] old
From then on there would be no ointment to take [G] away these burns
Make [A] that pain [G] grow dull [B] and forever ain't that long
When [D] your smile's stuck in [G] your head [E] like a pop [B] song, all you think about is death
Your day head [D] is gone and [G] slapped for [E] way too long [C#m] now,
[G] for way too [A] long now

thought that you were sleeping when [G] I found you dead, dead, [A] found you dead, dead
[D] But when I touched you you were freezing, it turned [G] out that you were dead, turned out that you were [D] dead
That's your disapproval, [G] that means you're eight years old, [A] you were only eight years old
[D] From then on there was no removal [G] of your fucked up head, [E] it's just broken, [G] oh man [B] forever ain't that long
[D] When your smile's stuck in your [G] head [E] like a pop [B] song, all you think about is death
Your day [D] head is gone and slapped [G] for way [E] too long [A] now, [G] for way [D] too long [A] now
