Chords with lyrics

Difficulty: Beginner


A minorAm           C majorC          G+G   E2
They say the heart only wants what it can't have,

A minorAm              C majorC      G+G  E2
so i guess your hand, in mine, will never fit.

A minorAm           C majorC          G+G       E2
'cause if i could find my heart inside this empty, dying, chest,

A minorAm         C majorC            G+G  E2
Then you would find that i'd give you all of it.

Am,C,G,E2 (x2)

A minorAm          C majorC      G+G  E2
you stole the matches from my book.

A minorAm        C majorC    G+G  E2
put out the fire in my eyes.

A minorAm           C majorC       G+G      E2
you cause a thunder in my veins when you're around.

A minorAm        C majorC      G+G   E2
you make me wish that i would die.

Chorus:

C majorC       G+G        E2
I can't hear you calling out my name,

C majorC      G+G            E2
but i still feel your breath across my neck, driving me insane

C majorC        G+G      E2
But you don't love me, so how do you explain?

C majorC        G+G         E2         C majorC
you walk away from my life but you live inside my brain

G,E2

C majorC    G+G        E2
You live inside my brain

C,G,E2

A minorAm      C majorC       G+G    E2
I thought you came to kiss my lips,

A minorAm       C majorC         G+G    E2
but you brought your shovel and your tarp.

A minorAm        C majorC       G+G       E2
The voice that once became the light unto my dark,

A minorAm      C majorC          G+G    E2
soon became your tool to break my heart.

Chorus:

C majorC       G+G        E2
I can't hear you calling out my name,

C majorC      G+G            E2
but i still feel your breath across my neck, driving me insane

C majorC        G+G      E2
But you don't love me, so how do you explain?

C majorC        G+G         E2         C majorC
you walk away from my life but you live inside my brain

G,E2

C majorC    G+G        E2
You live inside my brain

Bridge:

C majorC        G+G      E2
Eat my heart for breakfast.

C majorC          G+G   E2
Taste it's tainted blood.

C majorC                 G+G        E2
Feel your precious poison start to fill it's makers veins

C majorC             E2       G+G
so you can start to feel your so called love.
