Chords with lyrics
Key: Bb
Intro:
Bb Gm Eb (x4)
Verse 1:
Bb
You started as a school friend
Gm
We wrote it on my bed
Eb
Some good things last forever
And others drown instead
Bb
On my way to your apartment
Gm
You had problems with your head
Eb
You asked for an extension
On the promises we kept
Chorus 1:
Bb
You know I hate it when
Gm
I have to see you bruised
Eb
It fucks your confidence
It's every second you lose
Bb Gm
To this consequence of "you're beautiful"
Eb
I can't let it win
We've got to see this through
Verse 2:
Bb
Your public limitations
Gm
Meant visits weren't your friend
Eb
We spent our time on puzzles
That didn’t have an end
Bb
I painted you a portrait
Gm
Of Annie Erin Clark
Eb
To make you feel at home with
The nurses after dark
Chorus 2:
Bb
You know I love it when
Gm Eb
I get to see you smile with teeth
At stupid things
Bb
Like our imaginary beef with William Shatner
Gm Eb Bb
And all the bullshit that he speaks
Bridge:
Gm F
You know I love you the best
Bb
We started with so many friends
Eb
We've only got seven left
Gm F
So take your hand and put it on my chest
Bb
There's something really big in there
Eb
And no one gets access
Instrumental Interlude:
Bb Eb Gm Eb (x3)
Bb
Gm Eb
Outro:
Bb
Cause there's always something
Eb
In the marks on your face
Gm
The ringing in your ears that screams
Eb
"Don't look this way"
Bb
When everything's perfect
Eb
But you're not okay
Gm
You start to get the feeling
Eb
You might be erased
Bb
There's always something
Eb
That screams out loud
Gm
And no one hears it
Eb
Until you shout
Bb
"I'm putting me first"
Eb
"I'm putting me first"
Gm Eb
"I'm putting me first"
