[C#m]
[F#] And [E] this is not the way that I pictured [A] this would go.
Your hands are weak, I thought [C#m] they'd been strong.
Your mouth is like the way I [F#] thought it tasted, like smoke.
And [Em] your hair is really long, I like it [A] really long.
So I can lie to both my [C#m] mom and dad, to say that I am younger [F#] than I am.
[Em] And the doctors say I'm fine, that I will [A] be a mom in nine more months.
I'll never [C#m] be a mom, I'll never be that strong.
I'll always [F#] be this weak, at least that they told me.
She says, [E] I kicked and cried and screamed until I [A] couldn't breathe.
I'm through myself, that's just like [C#m] twice a week.
I think I bled until it [F#] was all gone.
She [E] said, thank me when you're older, [A] and I'll write all of these songs for you.
[G#] You can bury me in pieces,
[F#] underneath the floor, within your room.
[E] And it's glory just gets darker, [A] screaming down always, you always do.
[G#] Saying Jesus, please forgive me, [F#] but I'm even faughty more than you.

[C#m]
[F#] And I
[Em] never said that did was [A] easier than done.
Until I'm, my ribs are spilling [C#m] out my back.
My spine, my spine is coming [F#] out my mouth, and I cannot breathe.
[E] And I will break and break and break and break and [A] break again.
I blew myself back up [C#m] with all my friends.
I locked myself inside of [F#] my room, writing songs like these.
[E] She said, I kicked and cried and screamed until I [A] couldn't breathe.
I'm through myself, that's just like [C#m] twice a week.
I think I bled until it [F#] was all gone.
[E] She said, thank me when you're older, [A] and I'll write all of these songs for you.
[G#] You can bury me in pieces,
[F#] underneath the floor, within your room.
[Em] And it's glory just gets darker, [A] screaming down always, you always do.
[G#] Saying Jesus, please forgive me, [F#] but I'm even faulty more than you.
[E] Saying it's all gone.
