Verse 1:
           Cm
Why did you call it what you called it?
             Ab
You could've called it off
         Cm                         Ab
Did you ever feel the way I did at all?

Probably gets you off
  Bb
Thinking I'm broken
         Cm
Shadows holding me with my fingers crossed
         Bb                                   Ab
Like I'm in a corner, back against the wall

But I promise I'm not


Pre-Chorus:
Ab
Up, up in the madness

You turned a lover to a savage

Think you're addicted to my sadness
Bb
No more

Eb                         Bb
You don't get in my brain

You don't fill up the spaces

I don't whisper your name

I'm not letting you in
        Ab                      Eb
Now that I've built a fortress

When you call, I ignore it

I built a fortress, mmm

Verse 2:
Cm
Thought that you meant it
                Ab
When you spent all those quiet nights on me
         Cm                                  Ab
Told me all about the secrets that you keep

I thought you were so deep
Bb         Cm
So badly wanted something
                            Ab                      Bb
So I let you keep taking me up, up in the madness, madness

Ab           Bb
You said you did, but you don't give a fuck about us

You, all the words that you don't say speak the loudest
Ab           Bb                                       Ab
You said you did, but you don't give a fuck about us

Don't say it, don't say it
