[D] [A]
[B]
I've been in a room with my own guts, strangled, cold and queasy [D] now.
You and all your friends have got [A] your hands, screwed on, and it brings me [B] down.
I hear your voices, darling, [Bb] split.
You shut my eyes, got to the [E] corner of the restroom.
I'm [A] afraid to make excuses, and I'm ready for a [G] mistake.
I'm feeling [E] tired.
[G]
And if [D] this is your workout [Em] just right, I might [B] as well be a problem.
[G] I'm sick [D] and tired of feeling [E] worn out [Em] all my life.
[B] I could stand a whole year away just to hear that there's a second [D] chance.
My heart is swollen and bleeding.
[A] I'm suffering from this.
But [B] I'm loose.
I'm biting the hand I'm snatched [Bb] at.
Loyalty, yes, I can't take [E] it.
Don't hate yourself for your [A] blackened veins.
I'm the one that decides that I'm [B] rich.
Have you heard that love is dead?
[D] Now remember [A] I'm the one out for [B] you.
I couldn't handle simple conversation.
[Bb] I ended up [G] just singing about it.
[B]
[Bb]
[E]
[G]
[B] You don't have to laugh about [Bb] it.
Unless it's in the fucking house without it.
[G] I sleep.
Yeah, I'm falling [Em] asleep.
[G] My thoughts [D] weigh heavy on the coldest [Em] shoulder.
Is everyone [B] alive until when?
[G] Well, I can't [D] wait till I'm older.
[Em] You are a wreck right [B] now.
We are running [G] like hell.
And if this [D] is your workout just [Em] right, I might as [B] well be a problem.
[G] I'm sick and [D] tired of feeling [E] worn out all my life.
[Bm] [Bb]
[B] [G]
[Bm] [Bb]
[A] [G]
[B] [Bbm]
Sleep [D] it all away and [G] dream of [D] something [E] so
[G] enjoyable.
[B] I'm [Bb] drowning in disgust.
[D] Next time [G] I'll live a faster.
[D] Sleep [E] your life away
[G] with me.
[Bm] [Bb]
[D] [G]
[Bm] [Bb]
[E]
I think that's the worst thing I've ever heard.
How marvelous.
