Chords with lyrics
Alright, so this song seriously grew on me. The chorus always left me hanging, but I appreciate this
piece as a whole now, so which is why I wanted to churn the chords out for it. Hope you enjoy!
Intro lead in: AbAb
BbmBbm
You left the room and all my senses left with you
Eb MajorEb
and now my body's just a place for blood.
BbmBbm
If I could taste then I'd be shaking in my place
Eb MajorEb
just at the thought of what your lips taste of.
BbmBbm
Oh, you love to string me along and I know it,
Eb MajorEb
but resistance always lingers on my tongue.
BbmBbm
You're afraid you'll never belong.
Eb MajorEb
And I say it, but it's always tongue in cheek.
(Eb MajorEb)
I choose all the right words but the words work against me.
DbDb F minorFm
Take my pride but you'll never take all my friends.
DbDb F minorFm
Take my life and you'll never feel whole again.
BbmBbm AbAb F#F# Eb MajorEb
But if you're gonna make empty threats, then how dare you?
BbmBbm AbAb F#F# Eb MajorEb
If the thought of an absent God doesn't scare you...
BbmBbm AbAb F#F# Eb MajorEb F#F# Eb MajorEb
If you want me to hold my breath while you carry on, then come on!
BbmBbm
I must admit, there was a time when you were it.
Eb MajorEb
You had my body, had my soul, my love.
BbmBbm
But how we switched... I cracked the code,
Eb MajorEb
I scratched the itch, and you're aware the spell is wearing off.
BbmBbm
You no longer string me along, and you know it.
Eb MajorEb
Bet it eats away at that confidence you feign.
BbmBbm
From afar I fell for it all,
Eb MajorEb
but close up it comes off trite and cheap.
(Eb MajorEb)
You could take it all off and I'd still keep my mind clean.
DbDb F minorFm
Take my pride but you'll never take all my friends.
DbDb F minorFm
Take my life and you'll never feel whole again.
BbmBbm AbAb F#F# Eb MajorEb
But if you're gonna make empty threats, then how dare you?
BbmBbm AbAb F#F# Eb MajorEb
If the thought of an absent God doesn't scare you...
BbmBbm AbAb F#F# Eb MajorEb F#F# Eb MajorEb
If you want me to hold my breath while you carry on, then come on!
BbmBbm AbAb F#F#
I've got this medicine in my head.
BbmBbm AbAb F#F#
Every day it secretes and tells me what I should have said.
BbmBbm AbAb F#F#
So I live in dread...
BbmBbm AbAb F#F#
That every thought that I vocalize should be silence instead.
BbmBbm AbAb F#F#
I've got this notebook that begs for love.
BbmBbm AbAb F#F#
I hear it screaming: "Come on boy, fill me like that whiskey cup!"
BbmBbm AbAb F#F#
So I ripped him up...
BbmBbm AbAb F#F#
Then I poured out a sip in remembrance of my paper-cuts.
BbmBbm AbAb F#F#
I've got this painting that looks just like you.
BbmBbm AbAb F#F#
I'm sure the one who laid brush to canvas simply had no clue
BbmBbm AbAb F#F# BbmBbm AbAb F#F#
of the damage they'd do. With every look that I give, it burns. Let it burn!
