Violent Smile Chords by Hotel Books

[D] Chapter 3, Part 1.
Separation is normal.
When asked why people break up, there is not one simple [G] answer.
A sense of self-knowledge and intentional [Em] awareness is a [G] catalyst between the communication of two partners hoping to achieve emotional [D] intimacy,
but it can also expose desires that are not shared between said partners.
Sometimes [E] relationships end [G] because partners evolve over time,
sometimes [Em] they end because [G] one partner does not feel deserving of love,
sometimes they end [D] due to infidelity or thoughts of such actions,
and sometimes, maybe more often than not, they just end.
[E] Similarly to people, [G] sometimes love can die unexpectedly,
because [Em] sometimes the [G] ego of one partner can suffocate the shared joy.
Everything [B] ends.
[A] I don't [G] know where I stand, [B] _ [A] so just watch [D] me fall apart, _
[Bm] _ [Am] cause I know [G] I'd break my hands, [B] _ _ [D] just [G] holding your heavy heart. _
[D] _ _ Are we going to be emotionally compromised, or will we compromise emotion?
The hot and cold get old, but the lukewarm we [G] spit out. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] Are we going to be totally on opposite sides, or will we comprise our devotion?
_ I wanted to stay away from [G] our usual form, but not live in doubt. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ [A] I don't want to [G] unlearn my lesson.
_ [A] I want to [D] learn what this [Bm] death is.
I [A] want to know [G] what being alone [B] can feel [D] like, and I'll be alright.
_ _ [Bm] Do you want to _ [G] understand?
_ [A] Do you want [D] to be understood?
_ _ [Bm] Can we somehow wrap them [G] in our love, [A] our hands, our hearts [Bm] and know good?
_ [A] _ We built these [Bm] _ [D] gallows, but for who they were [Bm] for?
_ _ [A] We're feeling [D] shallow, I hope you know I don't, but you [A] don't love me [Bm] anymore.
_ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [B] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ So wear [Bm] black at our wedding, to [G] mourn the loss of my dignity,
_ _ and [D] make sure our love is out [B] of your pure empathy, [G] and not just misplaced [A] pity.
_ _ _ [D] _ Do [Bm] you want to [D] understand? _ _
Do you want to be _ understood? _
[Bm] Can we somehow wrap [G] them in our love, [A] our hands, our hearts and [D] know good? _
[Bm] Do you want to [G] understand? _ _
