I, I [D] believe that [Em]
in forgetting I might set myself [Dm] free.
[G] I woke up this morning with a piece of glass in my mouth.
[D] And then [A] I just, [Em]
I, [D] I bled.
[E] I tried to hide the heart from [D] the head.
[Em] And I, I said [D] I bled.
[Em]
In the arms of a girl I'd rarely met.
[D] [G] That I woke up this morning with a [D] president's plantus on the [G] ground.
[D] And then I [A] drowned.

And then [A] I just, [Em]
I guess [D] I've learned.
[Em] The taste of the days that will always burn.
[C] I, I guess I've [D] learned.
If it's in the corner of my eye, well I can't always tell.
[Cm] Cause I [F#] woke up this morning [G] with a president's plantus on the ground.
