Verse:
F minorFm C minorCm G minorGm
Have I been keeping you sick?
DbDb
Here's me believing a bleeding heart’s just a quick fix
F minorFm C minorCm DbDb
All you needed was me, not my solutions or views
I wish I could take all this pain back I've put you through
F minorFm C minorCm F minorFm
I guess it's too little, too late
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
At least I can assure you; I had the best intentions
Chorus:
F minorFm G minorGm E MajorE AbAb
It's toxic, it's noxious. Ironically honest
Get out tonight, don't say farewell
DbDb E MajorE
Run for your life, go save Yourself
F minorFm E MajorE DbDb
It's twisted, it's bitter. It's sickly sweet
Get out alive, while there's still time
DbmDbm E MajorE
And don't you dare even consider a "next time"
Verse:
F minorFm C minorCm
But through it all, you managed
DbDb
I left you bruised and battered
Took you for granted, took advantage and vanished
F minorFm
And you'd think that just for once in my life;
DbDb
I'd take a step back and maybe consider what's on your mind
DbDb
But no…
F minorFm C minorCm DbDb
You're the strongest person I know
F minorFm Am-5
At least I can assure you I'm afraid of my reflection
(No no no…)
Chorus:
F minorFm G minorGm E MajorE AbAb
It's toxic, it's noxious. Ironically honest

DbDb E MajorE
Run for your life, go save Yourself
F minorFm E MajorE DbDb
It's twisted, it's bitter. It's sickly sweet
Get out alive, while there's still time

You're the strongest person I know
F minorFm
I've never been one to express myself so directly, more with imagery and symbolism
Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb
Obscuring my faults behind a veil of metaphors and euphemisms
But just for one moment, I want to be open and honest
DbDb Bb majorBb
If we can't express ourselves directly and be prepared to expect negativity,
F minorFm
then we'll surely crumble under the weight of our insecurities
Bb majorBb
To search yourself and come face to face with your demons is terrifying
But if we can't face them, then how do we grow?
DbDb
How do we recover, or know when we're wrong?
F minorFm
And yes, it's okay to be wrong
Eb MajorEb
And I have been wrong, and I am wrong, and I am wrong!
Bb majorBb
And this is me, and in all honesty I'm not doing so well right now,
DbDb
but at least I'm finding the courage to face myself
F minorFm
Self deprecating? Maybe
Self absorbed? Maybe
Eb MajorEb
Bravery? Definitely
DbDb
I'm so sorry for all the pain and heartache that I've caused you
Bb majorBb
I just want you to be happy in life
F minorFm
I'll come and watch from afar, and admire you
and every bit of joy and success that comes your way
Eb MajorEb DbDb
I know that this is for the best, but it's been the most difficult choice of my life
Bb majorBb F minorFm
I did this for you, and knowing full well the consequences
F minorFm Eb MajorEb
This is me and my acceptance, all I ask is that you remember me as I walk away
