♫ Intro:

 G#m    B  | G#m    B  | G#m    B  | F#  :


♫ Verse 1:
   G#m                          B
I cannot believe what you get away with
          G#m                B
You find beauty in anything
    G#m                        B
Whenever you look down into a sewer
F#
 You see a diamond ring
   G#m                       B
It isn't fair how you never look like you're trying
   G#m                           B
As if you couldn't care any less
G#m                       B
 And I'm here, kicking myself to keep from crying
F#
 You say you're impressed

♫ Chorus:
                E         B
But this isn't helping at all
                  E                B
It only makes me wanna get further off
            E         B
This isn't helping at all
            F#
This isn't helping


♫ Verse 2:
     G#m                           B
You say that this doesn't have to hurt
         G#m                    B
You're there if you need to be found
G#m                       B
 Can't you see that that makes it so much worse?
F#
 I'll always see you around
 G#m                       B
Maybe in time, we can give it one morе try
            G#m                         B
But let's think about what matters now
      G#m                            B
Keep kicking yourself to keep from crying
F#
 That, you'rе so right about


♫ Chorus:
                   E         B
'Cause this isn't helping at all
                       E                      B
I know you think it's kindness, but it's not
            E         B
This isn't helping at all
            F#
This isn't helping


♫ Bridge:
               C#m                 G#m
Don't say that it's all your fault
               C#m                    G#m
I know you're banking on it coming up
                C#m            G#m
But would your life be so bad
            F#
If you knew every single thought I had?
               C#m                G#m
'Cause I only have two things to say to you
         C#m                 G#m
But you say two things about everything, babe
C#m                  G#m
 Well, just when I thought
                F#
You don't even notice me at all


♫ Chorus:
                   E         B
'Cause this isn't helping at all
                  E                B
It only makes me wanna get further off

            E         B
This isn't helping at all
            F#
