• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Key: E


♫ Verse:

C#m                 E
Rattlesnakes in the nursery
C#m                       E
Crimson roses hang upside down
F#                             A
A checkerboard’s laid out like runway
F#
I gotta play both sides,
A                B
Every night and day

♫ Chorus:
E
Cuz I have been
E
My own abuser
A
I need an intervention
A  E
But before we accuse her
E
She was just
E
Disappointed
A
In my lack of wanderlust
A   E
Cuz nothing gets me excited
B
I wish that I could see myself
B                C#m
The way that I’m portrayed
C#m
By everybody else
E
Maybe their right
B
Maybe I’m betraying
     E
Myself

♫ Solo:

♫ Verse:

C#m
My depth I fear
E
Is feeling like a grave
C#m                         E
Or a cage created by my own design
C#m
But the more I’m loved
E
The less I like it here
F#
Avoiding all the rain
A                 B
Will make the sun disappear
