Verse 1:
C
Time escapes
Cmaj7
Then we're replaced
G
By the waves that crash behind us
Gmaj7
And the memories that bind us
C
To the past
Cmaj7
Hey, not so fast
G
Put a comma by the trauma
Gmaj7
Add another, I don't wanna
Chorus:
C Cmaj7
Shouldn't I give up? Shouldn't I try?
G Gmaj7
Justify my own made mess, blame my life on loneliness
C Cmaj7
Shouldn't I give up? Shouldn't I try?
G Gmaj7
Oh, I don't wanna think these thoughts tonight
Bridge:
C Cmaj7 G
Waiting all day to say nothing, then fall apart
Gmaj7 C
Don't cry, don't lie, don't shine, don't mind, don't start
Cmaj7 G
Crossed out names, some games and stains, they've left a mark
Gmaj7
Don't start
Chorus:
C Cmaj7
Shouldn't I give up? Shouldn't I try?
G Gmaj7
Justify my own made mess, blame my life on loneliness
C Cmaj7
Shouldn't I give up? Shouldn't I try?
G Gmaj7
Oh, I don't wanna think these thoughts tonight

Verse 2:
C
I'll take a walk
Cmaj7
I'll disappear
G
Shove my hands inside my pockets
Gmaj7
Find the joy before I lost it
C
Another world
Cmaj7
Far from here
G
I think I can remember
Gmaj7
But I just can't place it
Chorus:
C Cmaj7
Shouldn't I give up? Shouldn't I try?
G Gmaj7
Justify my own made mess, blame my life on loneliness
C Cmaj7
Shouldn't I give up? Shouldn't I try?
G Gmaj7
Oh, I don't wanna think these thoughts tonight
