πΈ Verse :
C
I couldn't control the corners of my mouth
C
The last time I left Ballenden House
F Am Em
Because I swear I'm never going back there
C
But even though I've regained my health
C
I still find time to torture myself
F Am Em F
And convince myself the situation is worse than it is
Am Em
I can't deal with nights like this
F C G
When it all fades to black and air just disappears
πΈ Chorus:
C G Am
So please don't remind me of things that I can do without
G C
And of nights spent wishing she'd come find me
G Am
Stuck in this rut and pull me out
G F C
But instead I kept you hanging round to drag me down
πΈ Verse :
N.C.
I like to think that I live a lie
N.C.
When I'm working from 9 'til 5
C F Am Em
And that these nights are what define me
C
But my definition is not regret
N.C.
Paralysed in a bed of sweat
F Am Em
Aching from my cranium to my jaw
F Am Em
As all the demons gnaw on
Am F C G
What is left of my brain somewhere in between
πΈ Chorus:
C G Am
So please don't remind me of things that I can do without
G C
And of nights spent wishing she'd come find me
G Am
Stuck in this rut and pull me out
G
I've got a lot to sort out
πΈ Bridge:
Dm F
And today is the perfect Autumn day to think this through
Am F
Walk up and down The Innocent Railway for an hour or two
Dm F
When it starts getting dark I head back home to work out what to do
Am G Dm
We're both to blame for wasted days but it time to cut you loose
G
Because this is all you seem to do:
πΈ Outro:
C
You remind me that I'm worthless
G
You remind me that I'm always tense
F Dm F
You remind me that are the simplest things leave me confused as I struggle to make any sense
C
You remind me that I'm weak willed
G
You remind me of the nights that I spent high
F Dm F
To forget another face, another name, to forget another goodbye
C
You remind me that with each step forward
G
I'm already contemplating stepping back
F Dm
To digging my nails into my pale skin and let the whites of
F
My eyes turn to black
C
You remind me that I'll never grow up
G
But not in the way that I'll always have fun
F
In the way that I'll never progress, I'll always be a mess
Em F G C Am
And do my best to block out the sun, that's why I am think I'm done
Em F G C Am
Do my best to block out the sun, that's why I am think I'm done
Em F G C Am
Do my best to block out the sun, that's why I am think I'm done
Em F G C Am
Do my best to block out the sun, that's why I am think I'm done
Em F G C
I'm through with blocking out the sun, that's why I think we're done
