Standard family disaster

There's no point to waste the blame

I tried to drown your memory

Kissed my cheek sadistically
  FF         C majorC
And dragged me down below

I was so angry then

Wasting energy

Fighting something I couldn't see

Just fighting myself

N.C.  FF        C majorC
I know time unfolds and then it tangles
G minorGm          DmDm
Strings attached and feelings mangled
Bb majorBb          Eb MajorEb
Some threads severed, some still dangle
FF        C majorC
Some just drift away

G minorGm
There's no point to waste the blame

I've never been strictly speaking sane

I should've known fresh dirt won't wash old stains away

Bb majorBb
The last thing I tried to do
DbDb
Was end up hurting you
 FF      DmDm
I found my enemy

Fighting myself

While I fought for what I wanted more than anything
  C majorC        DmDm
You stuck around for kicks
