Intro:
B Ebm F# Bbm7 (1x)


Verse:
B
And, oh
Ebm
I said
F#
Hey, come back
Bbm7
To my arms, yeah
B                 Ebm
This hurts, yeah, fuck, I know

I can't take this shit no more
F#                            Bbm7
But I got this, this life is short

Yeah, look
          B
They say nothing lasts forever, love always fades away
Ebm
I try to hide the pain, so I guess I'm the one to blame
F#
I'm in the dark fallin', drownin', callin' your name
Bbm7
I still hear your voice, I still see your face
B
But I–held on to you, but you were killin' me slow
Ebm
Two things, love and compassion, things that we'd never show
F#
We all just run from the truth and all the things that we know
Bbm7
And still I'm lookin' for you, but I just hope that you grow, fuck
B
I'm not as okay as I pretend to be
Ebm
Runnin' from the past and I can't see what lies ahead of me
F#
I gave up on everyone, I gave up on everything
Bbm7
I know there's a heaven, I just don't think it was meant for me
B
If you knew me you would judge me for all these mistakes
Ebm
So like the rest of us I carry this smile on my face
F#
And act like everything's okay as I try not to break
Bbm7
My smile is like the love you gave all along, it was fake
B
Been so neglected, I don't even know my worth no more
Ebm
Sinners like us don't find forgiveness in a church no more
F#
Meds, they don't work no more, my head doesn't work no more
Bbm7
Sometimes I'd rather die 'cause that wouldn't hurt no more
B
But some nights I wanna call you and swallow my pride
Ebm
'Cause some nights I just feel empty and hollow inside
F#
Why do we hold on to the people that promise us lies?
Bbm7
Why do we kill ourselves to live if all of us die?
B
I'm slowly breakin' down, it's hard to fake my smile
Ebm
I learned the things that help us breathe can also make us drown
F#
I just can't take it now

I just can't take it now
Bbm7
My demons talk to me, these angels never make a sound
B
Sometimes I look inside the mirror and stare at myself
Ebm
Hate who I am, I have this problem comparin' myself
F#
Sometimes we love someone who turns into somebody else
Bbm7
I got so lost in you, forgot how to care for myself
B
We fight addictions, we hate each other, we're all the same
Ebm
We dig for love, bury the past and end up in the grave, yeah
F#
But who's to blame? I guess we all change
Bbm7
We hurt the ones we love because of our pain, fuck
B
And, oh
Ebm
I said
F#
Come back
Bbm7
To my arms
B
This hurts,
Ebm
I know-oh
F#
But I got this,
Bbm7
I'm on my own

B Ebm F# Bbm7 (x2)
