[Verse 1]

Am   C       D     Am       C      D       Am

   I hurt myself today   to see if I still feel

  C    D        Am        C      D          Am

I focus on the pain   the only thing that's real

    C      D       Am         C      D       Am

The needle tears a hole   the old familiar sting

       C      D      Am           C      D      G

Try to kill it all away   but I remember everything

[Verse 2]

Am   C         D        Am        C      D       Am

   I wear this crown of thorns   upon my liar's chair

C       D        Am       C     D    Am

Full of broken thoughts   I cannot repair

  C          D        Am         C       D       Am

Beneath the stains of time   the feelings disappear

C         D      Am    C     D           G

You are someone else   I am still right here

[Chorus 2]

Am              F     C               G

What have I become?     My sweetest friend

Am          F             C        G

Everyone I know  goes away in the end

    Am                 F    G            G

And you could have it all   My empire of dirt

Am              F     G               G

I will let you down   I will make you hurt

[Outro]

   Am               F     G              G

If I could start again  a million miles away

Am              F    G

I would keep myself  I would find a way
