Intro:
E Esus E Esus
E Esus E Esus


Verse:
E
Patient, I am patient, I am waiting for you dear
E  A
I am counting up the moments spent until I have you here
A    E
And I am hoping I am wishing I am praying to my god
E      A
That when I finally have you here that it’s still something that I want
E

Oh oo oo Oh oo oo
E
Oh oo oo Oh oo oo

Verse:
E
Cuz I am tired of fighting, of holding what’s inside me
E
It’s 'alright's and 'I’m so sorry's, yeah, the cycle’s never-ending
E
And I can’t fight the feeling that we are slowly sinking
E
That our worlds are growing distant, it’s getting hard for me to live in

Chorus:
E          F#m7
No, I don’t want to hurt you, want to leave you
E              A
But I can’t live with this sinking empty feeling
A                E
Like we’re working and I can’t take one more second
E
Of these eggshells that we’re walking, this ain’t living
A
And it’s nothing I would say, it’s nothing I could change anyway
E Esus E Esus E Esus E Esus

Verse:
E
Reckless I am reckless I’m just stupid for you babe
E  F#m7                         E
I am lucid when you’re gone and when you’re not it’s all a dream
E
I get soft and I get easy, I get lost inside your eyes
E     F#m7                     E
Yeah, It’s some sick kind of magic, I forgive you every time
E
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
E       F#m7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
F#m7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
F#m7      E
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Verse:
E
But I am tired of charming, always getting what you want
E         F#m7
The crumbs of your heart, they don’t sustain me
F#m7                  E
It’s just enough to keep me waiting and I can’t fight the feeling
E
We’re a bomb that’s always ticking
E    F#m7                       B
A single nudge could fucking end it, I’m so sick of being cautious

Chorus:
E
No, I don’t want to hurt you, want to leave you
E              A
But I can’t live with this sinking empty feeling
A                    E
Like we’re working and I can’t take one more second
E
Of these eggshells that we’re walking, this ain’t living
A                 E
And it’s nothing I would say, it’s nothing I could change anyway
E Esus E Esus E Esus E Esus F#m7

Bridge:
E
No,it’s nothing I would say, it’s nothing I could change
E        F#m7
Oh,you’re gonna watch me walk away
F#m7               E
No, you don’t know how to make me stay
E
It’s nothing I would say, it’s nothing I could change
E        F#m7
Oh,you’re gonna watch me walk away
F#m7
You’re gonna watch me walk away

Verse:
E
Oh, cuz I am tired of caring 'bout your feelings when you spare none
E        F#m7
Don’t want your love if it’s not consistent,
F#m7
 never knowing where we’re standing
E
And I can’t fight the feeling that we are slowly dying
E     F#m7
Like those flowers you always bought me, all those insincere apologies

Chorus:
E
No, I don’t want to hurt you, want to leave you
E              F#m7
But I can’t live with this sinking empty feeling
A                    E
Like we’re working and I can’t take one more second
E
Of these eggshells that we’re walking, this ain’t living
F#m7                 E
And it’s nothing I would say, it’s nothing I could change

Outro:
E

F#m7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
