Intro: Em

Em
The word suicide is irresponsible
Em
Still you offered to buy me a gun
Em
what's so hard about sympathy
Em
Love is a lonely room
Em
Love is a lonely room


G
When out on the edge
Em
there's just two directions
Em
And somebody has to lose
C
I should know better than to use words
Em
Like never and hate
Em
Love is a lonely room
Em
Love is a lonely room
