Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
C majorC     FF          C majorC  FF
Pills eat through you like acid burning holes
C majorC      FF           C majorC      FF
Through your head, your mind, your bones and enamel
C majorC         FF    C majorC      FF
Handcuffed to the bed like you’re an animal
C majorC      FF     C majorC   FF
I don’t even recognize you anymore
C majorC   FF          C majorC     FF
Try to put you down like an old dog to sleep
C majorC    FF        C majorC       FF
Cut your branches off but you’re a dying tree
  C majorC        FF          C majorC     FF
The doctors came and pulled the sheet up over your head
C majorC       FF     C majorC         FF
You’re already dead, you just don’t know it yet

Chorus:
    C majorC FF    C majorC             FF
You are sick and I hate you and love you for it
     C majorC  FF     C majorC        FF
You’re a wreck but I’m always going to want you


Verse 2:
C majorC     FF          C majorC     FF
I hate to see the knife always under your arm
C majorC    FF       C majorC        FF
Alone at night, cutting up neighborhood dogs
  C majorC        FF
You snuck me to your daddy’s bedroom
C majorC         FF
Showed me all his guns
      C majorC         FF
You said, “Careful or you’ll blow your head off
C majorC       FF    C majorC
Make sure the safety’s on”
    FF          C majorC     FF
Leaving things to die in the mud at the creek
C majorC    FF         C majorC    FF
Pumping shotgun slugs out into the trees
  C majorC        FF        C majorC        FF
You run your fingers on the wood and feel its bullet holes
  C majorC              FF         C majorC      FF
It gives you something I could never give you or ever really know


Chorus:
    C majorC FF    C majorC             FF
You are sick and I hate you and love you for it
     C majorC  FF     C majorC        FF
You’re a wreck but I’m always going to want you


Outro:
   C majorC            FF
And I don’t want to know what you’ve done
    C majorC        FF
Or what you think about doing
C majorC    FF      C majorC     FF
I don’t want to know, so don’t tell me
