♫ Verse 1:

G              C                 Bm
I’m the fucked up kid in school
            Am          C
Dead in the eyes of the rules
G              C                  Bm
I got sent home for throwing up
           Am          C
My friends think being sick is cool

♫ Verse 2:

G               C             Bm
And my dad beat up my mom
         Am        C
'Cause she's an alcoholic
G          C              Bm
But he's an alcoholic too
        Am                 C
Through the looking glass of abuse

♫ Chorus:

C
I wanna sleep next to you
Bm                Am            C
After school, before my mom calls
C
To see when I'm coming home
       Bm       Am          C
I can finally see where the tether ends

Bm       Am            C
Mortally coiled around nothingness

Bm       Am            C
Mortally coiled around nothingness

Bm       Am            C
Mortally coiled around nothingness

♫ Instrumental:

G C Bm Am C

♫ Verse 3:

G              C                 Bm
I'm the fucked up kid in school
      Am        C
Maybe I'll join the army
G                C               Bm
No one will ever know me truly
            Am         C
My rage has silenced a cry for help

♫ Verse 4:

G        C                           Bm
My mom's dealer put a gun to my head
      Am         C
For a laugh, for his friends
G           C                          Bm
And in that moment I knew I could kill
   Am              C
My mother's prison is herself

♫ Chorus:

C
I wanna sleep next to you
Bm                Am            C
After school, before my mom calls
C
To see when I'm coming home
       Bm       Am          C
I can finally see where the tether ends

Bm       Am            C
Mortally coiled around nothingness

Bm       Am            C
Mortally coiled around nothingness

Bm       Am            C
Mortally coiled around nothingness
