Verse 1:
Am* G* D*
The only ones interested in finding out what my mind says
Am* G* D*
Are the ones who interrupt me by stealing my last breath
Am G D
And i don't know how i'll be able to distract myself from thinking
Am G D
That i want you to take my soul and body
Am G D
And i don't care if you love somebody else
Am* G* D*
'Cause you're not here and i am a mess...
D-
But a nice mess
Chorus:
Am G D D
Taste the flowers from the edges of my shoulders
Am G D D
That is something i'll regret when i'm older
Am G D D
But maybe i'm too afraid of you seeing what's behind this crowned chest
Am G D
So i'll let you come close but not near
D Am
From outside of the windows might be best
G D
And maybe my biggest fear is my own
D Am
My own darkness
G D
La-la-la-la-la-la
Am G D
La-la-la-la-la-la
Verse 2:
D- Am
But wait
X G
What if i'm wrong
X D
Don't need your ghost
X Am
I think i'm ready to be on my own
X G
Been it before
X D
When i wasn't so lost
X Am
But you made me loose the noose i used to hold onto
G D
Hold onto your home
Am G
Don't mold into what your not
G-
But guess you already did that so
Chorus:
Am G D D
Taste the flowers from the edges of my shoulders
Am G D D
That is something i'll regret when i'm older
Am G D D
But maybe i'm just afraid of you seeing what's behind this crowned chest
Am G D
So i'll let you come close but not near
D D D D D
From outside is best
Am G D
And maybe my biggest fear is my own
Am
My own darkness
G D
La-la-la-la-la

Please take my eyes
Am G D
La-la-la-la-la
Am G D
I'd like to smile at your face when you're crossing the street (x8)
Am G D
But i can't cause you're still asleep
Am
La-la-la
G D
Please take my eyes
Am* G* D*
But you won't 'cause you're still asleep.
